Postgame thoughts... WVU (NCAAT)

[Orangemen]

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!!

There was a time where I felt like the tournament didn’t really start till the sweet 16. Now I appreciate every one of these wins.

There’s only 4 games you can win that are a bigger deal than a second round ncaa game. This is special.

its so frustrating that not a single WVU fan has come on the board and said nice things after getting bounced...classless fans.. at least SDSU fans were classy! Go back to your kissing cousin lovin state!!!

There is now a couch shortage in the mid atlantic.

Kadary came in and broke the press immediately, so I don’t care if he’s quick or not, but seems like he was our only option to break it

It's not quickness. It's free throw shooting. I'm sure JB thought we would win if we hit free throws. After a couple quick baskets by WVU, the calculation changed.

 

[JoeSU]

We never make it easy. Up 9 at 54 seconds. And just hold on. Just enough.
SWEET 16 !!!

At least it wasn’t because JB went into his stall offemse

Then why not sub him in for Guerrier or braswell?

Is there anyone who can explain why the Orange seem to have no functional inbounds plays except to do what the opponent wants and pass the ball into the trap corner?

Not sure if Rothstein's tweet was posted. He compared JAB to Mick Jagger.

Joes shooting and D in the first half helped win this game. without it, we prob lose.

just want everyone to say that loud, we can recognize and debate who should play in certain spots, but give the kid his credit

Not allowed

Bras is fine. He probably didn't expect Q to handle.

Kadary in for Quincy when we’re trying to inbound the ball late. That’s what I’d go with.

`General questions:

1. With the game on the line, why are we inbounding the ball to Guerrier, who's been quite bad from the FT line of late?
2. WVU had 5 fouls (so we were not in the bonus), and struggling to get the ball inbounds and handle the WVU pressure in the last minute. Why yank Richmond and put in Girard?
3. Do we not have designed inbounds play that we practice regularly?

Yes, I'm a HaTeR, root for the team to lose, blah, blah, blah...

How you doing true? Okay?

Im not going to lie, The inbounds pass to Q nearly killed me.

He was definitely great in the first half, but I don't think that he was particularly good in the 2nd.

Oh boy!!! Our friends in Morgantown wont take kindly to this one.

Hopefully its another 5 years before the bowl committee decides to get cute again

SU did a great job shutting down Culver. 2-9, 7 points, 3 rebounds. WV made a huge mistake not going after Dolezaj and his 4 fouls. Thank you. Buddy’s 2nd half was incredible. I think he was 1-6 in the 1st half, 1-5 from 3. And let’s not knock Joe. 12 points on 4-8 shooting, all from 3. 6 rebounds, 7 assists. I thought Griffin was going to have a big game after hitting his first 3. Hard to explain his lack of production lately. Solid game from all others but we sure made it difficult coming down the stretch.

Well, that three made the difference, didn’t it?

i didn’t either, but we needed him in that first half and he came through.

That last minute was like a freaking stress test and a colonoscopy all in one.

Really both of Girard and Kadary should have been in the game with Marek, Buddy and I don’t care who the 5th is. That guy should never touch the ball(Braswell/Guerrier/Griffin) anyway.

Castle Court is the CNY equivalent of Florida.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

well...*cough*griff

He took such a selfish shot when Bras was at the scorer’s table in the 2nd half. Kid seems to just be trying to get his. Too bad.
