Slow down folks. Pitt played out of their heads and we are still progressing as a young team. Look at what Copeland and Brown did tonight. Lots of room to grow. Pitt can not get any better.

So what you're saying is...this is the best team against the zone we will play all year?????

Problem is Brown and Copeland will still sit the bench. JB will play Benny and Bell no matter what. Start every game with them and allow them to dig us a huge hole.

We regressed tonight by coming out flat. Trunk Monkey worked with Copeland and Brown. But we should have had a better plan and taken it to them early. Instead we let them shoot open 3s until late.

I’m convinced we don’t even scout opponents.

Mintz has to know when to shoot and when not to shoot. He really hurt the team at times. Team collapsed after he missed that dunk. Team was 16-25 from the FT line. Outrebounded by 9, 25% from 3-point land. We still have not beaten a decent team.

Do you only support Syracuse on sunny days?

 

[hoopsupstate]

On Judah’s turnover to Jesse, he had a wide open jumper. At the end he stopped attacking.

 

[orange7]

That’s by far the dumbest thing iv heard in a decade

Capel OWNS him. Did you watch this game? Last seasons games? Past games?

 

[Orangezoo]

We are soft man. Teams clown us.

We don't have energy on the sidelines. Hard to have it on the court.

 

[NorSyr66]

Ok….play them, then. Where they been? Our starting forwards average like 6-7 points and 0-4 rebounds per game.

I think they sat most of the 2nd half

[IthacaMatt]

Well, that's too bad, but that's why you play them all. Very nice comeback, led by Brown, Copeland and Girard. Mintz with a lot of points, but not always the best decisions. Too bad we weren't better with the ball at the end. Winnable game. We will regret letting this one get away at home.

 

[Cuse181]

Game is on JB. Benny and Bell shouldn’t have played two minutes. They are soft, weak, and can’t shoot.
Brown and Copeland are dogs and should play every minute going forward.
The rotations were horrid.

Copeland finally played a good game, he had been a major liability up to this point.

I'm a lifetime fan and an alum. Me being critical is not a lack of support. Awful post.

I saw a team that for most of the game looked lazy, uninspired and poorly prepared. Comebacks are fun and all but we have the talent out there. Why not pressure them more from the start? Why leave open shooters in the zone? I'm talking coaching and you are firing shots at whether I support this team. Come on.

 

[Tom W.]

We are Mike Tyson losing to Kevin McBride. An old fading powerhouse now losing to journeymen. With no relief in sight. This might just be who we are now. Sucks!

 

[OrangeDW]

I wish they’d sat most of 75% of the halves all season, personally. They rarely play well.

 

[NorSyr66]

Not really. I think we have seen 3 or 4 of them already

Lots of room, but not a lot of time.

 

[NorSyr66]

Lots of room, but not a lot of time.

Totally agree except we are a very young team against mostly 2 to 3 time portal players tonight

I mean technically there’s only one more game
left in 2022

We literally had a possession to be in the lead with 8 seconds left our freshman made a freshman mistake/decision. He can’t go out there and dribble the ball himself . Your demeanor tells me you should prolly never take a high stakes job with important decisions lol.

Teams take on the identity of their coach

What kind of energy is good energy from a coach? Honest question because it seems like coaches that are too energetic (buzz Williams, Hurley) are bad, and whenever JB rips into a player for doing something stupid it’s viewed as him being too mean.

What is a good energy?

 

[Cuse House]

Sucks, but the last 7 years I’ve grown numb to these losses. It’s expected now that we lose games we should win on a consistent basis. This team pretty much sealed its fate after losing to Colgate and Bryant. Really the only thing in question is how much we progress through the year and maybe NIT?

 

[Grbac]

Copeland finally played a good game, he had been a major liability up to this point.

Are you serious? When has he had a chance to be a liability? He’s barely played all season.

 

[NorSyr66]

I wish they’d sat most of 75% of the halves all season, personally. They rarely play well.

Hope you did not rave about their play over the past couple of games
