If Buddy is as hot as he's been we can continue to ride that train and win games, Griffin has had crap games and we've still won. We don't win when Buddy doesn't do well. Buddy is the X-Factor along with Kadary's knee and defense.
As a former military guy, I loved how they did that game.
We playing Virginia again?
I don't have much material and you're trying to steal mine? smh, no respect lol
I figured someone said this. Not a chance I was looking through 7 pages to confirm it!
Same... I am skiing at Gore mountain Th and Fri.
Their 3 point shooters hit at a high rate, free throw rate high too- they are a good shooting team. But the zone recently has been very good at limiting threes.
Huge SU fan, schedules Skiing during first round of march madness. sounds reasonable.
Good stuff.
Love the added hyperbole...
Coming at you from SU is a zone playing better than it has all year and unlike any zone you have played all year.
We start a thin Center who is one of the best passing big men in the country. He can handle it and brings the ball up. He will take on your big man one on one off the bounce. Think younger thinner pau gasol.
At pf we have a Bulldog in QG. He is great on the boards and finishes with contact. Can shoot the 3 think of a Paul Millsap.
At SF is Griffin who can get red hot or disappear. When he is off he is replaced by Braswell who is really long, elite defender and can hit the 3 at 6-9.
At SG is Buddy Boeheim who is on a tear scoring at all levels. Elite shooter who is very crafty using a high release. Playing the best he has since coming here.
At PG we have Joe Girard. Scrappy guard who was an elite scorer in HS. He can shoot it when he is on.
At Backup PG is our X factor and the guy you should worry about the most next to Buddy, Paul and Pau. Kadary Richmond is 6-5 and an elite defender at the top of the zone. Most teams struggle to adjust to how long he is and he gets a lot of deflections and steals. He is a true PG at 6-5 with a great handle who can take his man into the lane and setup teammates. Not a shooter but can knock down midrange. Good rebounder. Most unique player you will see all year.
Off the bench as well is 6-11 Jesse Edwards with a 7-5 wingspan. He has come on of late and is a huge obstacle inside. Slowed down the best frontcourt in the country in UNC when he came in.
Looking forward to an NBA caliber matchup. Good luck to y'all as well!!
I like you, you're forgiven. If it wasn't listed as SDS with those stats I would've guessed it was Virginia and put any amount of money on it. I'm either awful with money or I know how awful it is to watch Virginia.
We do not have to get hot to win games with our defense. It's as simple how good our defense is going to be. If our defense puts up an A performance and Buddy remains hot, you're going to lose. I'm not trying to sound cocky but the games we lose are when our defense breaks down, and since our best defender has been playing heavy minutes over our unathletic starting point guard we've lost two games, one of them at the buzzer when he was injured and sat out probably a couple of minutes too early.
Syracuse wins by 6, next team up on Sunday and we're discussing that game.
