Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 1318019, member: 972"] Syracuse hasn't boxed out in 26 years. It's not even part of the philosophy (just my opinion there) You're not wrong, but the way we play defense does not lend itself to boxing out. Roberson (and other wings) have to mindful of giving up a three to a wing AND rebounding so they naturally are out of position to box out and rebound. More to the point, if they give up a three they are cussed out and benched, but tip ins get lost in the fray...they are likely to hedge out vs hedge in, exacerbating the problem. This isn't new and you could say the same thing about Carmelo...he was just better than everybody. This is just basketball physics, and style [/QUOTE]
