Taylor should have played more. JJ shoulda been benched. I believe he was 3-20 in the game. Can’t keep losing games when you have double digit lead. Think dasher said that’s 3 in a row. Ridiculous. Nothing left to say at this point.

I know you are friends with the coaches. But, as much as we can blame the players, coaching is a problem. We need to ditch the whole damn thing.
 
We didn't make 1 FG in the last 5:12!

WOW

I am crying and if some people say they didn't watch! You are not a fan!
***its 1 thing if life is happening...its another if you are watching Law & Order reruns.

Helluva game! oh well it was a fun watch. Im over it.

Meh. We lose all these games for a reason.

Nah this game was different to me played pretty well outside of JJ and a couple bad decision by Red. I thought we gave great effort for the entire game which we haven't all year long. I thought we matched there intensity all game. I thought it was a great effort by all our kids. Thought JJ played awful and Red had some bad moments but overall most of our kids played to the best of their abilities tonight.

Good Game Good Effort

Like alot tonight. If we played like that every game we would have a lot more wins and Red would be under a lot less heat.

This was a fait accompli at halftime. How many really thought Syracuse would win? Just terrible execution on both ends of the court in the last 5 minutes. Taylor is our best defender, which is not saying much, and had an excellent offensive game and he sat most of the 2nd half.
 
Red proved definitively tonight that he has no business being on a side line. JJ got tore up on defense, and was absolutely terrible on offense. Once again cost Syracuse the game yet red left him in and actually GAVE HIM THE BALL time and time again. Clueless. If the big money donators actually think red is a good coach then my donations are gonzo. They arent much but i cant support this chit show and not feel like im getting trolled.

8-21
6-16
5-15
6-12
5-14
3-17

JJ is simply not good.
 
Thought the team played hard, but the coaching lost this one. Our offense in the final 10 minutes of games completely changes for the worst.

Coaches have to tell JJ to stop shooting 3’s. Each attempt is equivalent to a turnover at this point.

Multiple games now where going to a lineup of Carlos, Cuffe, Bell, McLeod, and Davis/Petar evaporates any lead we might have.

In today’s episode of Red’s Random Rotations, Davis has a groin issue yet plays 19 minutes of the 2nd half? Taylor starts out red hot and gets pulled.
 
Damn you NY Gaming Commission for not letting us bet SU games. Live betting the opponent at halftime woulda been gold

We lost today because Lampkin was absolutely horrible in the second half. He never fought for defensive position and he didn’t work hard on offense. Three straight trips to the foul line and only got one on each trip. You lose leads when you don’t make foul shots. You have to get defensive stops and you can’t have a defensive rebound taken out of Lampkins hands with under two minutes left. JJ missed some wide open threes and blew a couple of inside shots. That’s why we can’t finish games. You can’t blame Red for this game. At some point these guys have to make plays at the end if the game no matter who’s in the game.

Hate to say it, but several close losses illustrate a coaching disparity- not a talent disparity.

I’m of the camp they should be a 50/50 outcome. Not 10/90.

Hasn't been given the tools to succeed...

We don't fire a HC after 2 years at Syracuse...

Mad I am not going to like Red after next year.

Trainwreck.

Business is still business regardless of friendships. Red cares more than anyone but his subbing patterns worry me to say the least. JJ stunk and they lost bc of that. But you can also bench him so he doesn’t miss 5 horrible shots ina row. It’ll be interesting when I get to golf with these guys this summer. I’ll have some serious questions

that hurt.

It did not hurt because I totally expected it. This team can't execute at the end of games. In our last 3 losses, all of which should have been wins, Starling has been the worst player on the court for us on both ends of the court. I assume he'll be back next year only because he can't play in the pros.
 
I want to throw up.
I am sorry but this game showed what a bad coach Red is.
And his substitution patterns make no sense
Taylor 5 of 7 13 points
Cuffe 4 of 6 10 points.
Yet both were benched in favor of Starling who scored 10 points on 17 shots.
And both play better defense than JJ

ESPN box score has JJ 3-17 and 1-10 from 3
Expand...
Soooo...obviously keep him in most of the second half when we have a lead. What the freaking hell is Red seeing that he throws away leads in the second half so JJ can do his stupid drive left to throw up a dumbass right handed contorted freakshow shot instead of going with Taylor who was hitting shots in the first half?!?!?!?!?!?!
