Postgame thoughts... WVU (NCAAT)

[phreddie]

I for the life of me cabt figure out why WVU didnt attack our centers those last 9 minutes

Because that's kinda the point of the zone

For your bracket? Or easier game

Joe tied as second leading scorer with 12 pts on 4/8 from 3, led with 7 assists, 2nd with 6 rebs. Great game. Needs to hit that FT though.

I literally looked at my wife when he hit it and said, “cold blooded.”

Lol. Said/did the same thing.

After about 40 years of watching SU in the NCAAt, I’ve come to appreciate how difficult it is to win games in the Dance. I now relish each and every win we get.

Go Cuse!!

Yet some posters minimize JAB's post season victories.

What’s amazing about the Tournament is thinking this team has now gone as far, and further, than so many great SU teams. Those great regular seasons made the winter go by fast, and I miss them, but I’m so happy for the kids on this team, and 2018 and 2016.

Go Orange!

I disagree. Their was 3 bad calls in my opinion. They did call some ticky Tac stuff on WVU as well. I don’t think it was nearly as egregious. Especially comparing it to OSU. That game was straight highway robbery.

Butler, too. This game, there were a few calls, but we got a couple important ones that really biased refs might not have given (e.g. foul on Buddy on that inbound).

i literally dont know anything about houston. but i do know a little about rutgers since we played them. and i know if we get another crack at rutgers we win by 20. so im rooting hard for rutgirls!

Reminds me of Marquette a couple years ago. Year we beat Indiana, we beat Marquette in elite 8 to move on to the final four. They beat us at Marquette and I wanted them because I said there was no way they could beat us again. We made proper adjustments and won by more than 10 I believe.

I feel like I haven’t felt the sports-related euphoria of this weekend in a really, really long time.

 

[Chalupa_24]

Is it just me.. or is Rutgers decent on Defense

 

[Scotch]

KaDary’s short jumper under one minute—that was cold-blooded.

And that pass to Braswell. And Braswell’s three.

 

[CanadianSU]

Bring on the next!

 

[TheCusian]

I want to beat Rutgers in the Sweet 16 more than I can put into words

Yasss. Plus we have Buddy this time around

 

[djcon57]

that string where Kadary whipped that ball to Bras who drills the 3 like a stone cold assassin after missing all game, followed by Marek dropping a dime to Q who friggin jams it home was maybe the best string of offense since 2003. Seriously, I couldn’t believe it

 

[malpearl31]

Agreed, but I cannot stand Rutgers and I live just north of Houston. For their third strike, I don't like Rutgers.

I’m also north of Houston... if they win, it will be awesome to roll over them... I’ll be the guy strolling around The Woodlands decked out in Orange from head to toe!

That’s a distortion. Whatever. Odd time for divisiveness and to be airing grievances.

 

[Chalupa_24]

Hypothetically… grimes is nice if we play him. Rutgers has some good players but not a great one. In the EE.. buddy vs Cade… or krutwig… I’m not liking either matchup in EE from a early view.

They were never in that game. That was a defensive masterpiece by 'Cuse. They peaked at the right time. Just like this team is doing.

 

[Mareiniss]

Can we please work on some inbounds plays in practice this week?

 

[HtownOrange]

I'll join you, I am in Conroe. I still think Rutgers is a piece of ^%! team.

I just want Rutgers for the retro kitsch factor.

I sadly knew he was going to miss that which is unfortunate considering how great he shot last year.

 

[creatorsgam]

Joe: 4-8 from deep
Buddy: 6-13 from deep

There’s maybe two or three teams who can beat us when those two shoot like that. Best pair of pure shooters any team in the country can put on the court.

And Kadary’s stones hitting that jumper AND tip-toeing the sideline against the press. Just amazing stuff from all three of our guards.

That tip-toe to break the press was big time.
