Message: [QUOTE="We Are Syracuse, post: 567461, member: 2587"] So many different glaring problems with this team. Honestly, the number one problem is that Syracuse really has no one that can penetrate effectively consistently. No one can create for others during big east play. MCW obviously leads nation in assist, but come on, I was at the game saturday and he is completely out of control on a lot of his drives. Has a horrible habit of doing jump passes which lead to those momentum killer TOs. MCW can penetrate a little and create for others, but other than him, NO ONE can create for others. Secondly, the offensive movement makes me want to cry. Literally none. This cuse fan and I were just laughing at moments in the second half where literally our players would stand in the same general position a whole possession. UNACCEPTABLE at this level. This team simply is not good enough to just stand around on offense. They need to be much more hard to guard. GTown was setting flare screens, moving so well against our zone and it led to easy shots. Thirdly, James Southerland needs to get the thought of him having the green light whenever out of his mind. He consistently takes 5-7 awful shots a game and I have no idea as to how he keeps getting allowed to shoot 15 footers with a guy right in his face off of first pass, or a 30 footer with two guys in his face off of one pass. In addition, lord knows we have no inside game. NONE! No threats to pass, score, or screen to help get others open. In Syracuse's offense, the big men are a complete bump on a log. They are useless. They do not serve their teammates by getting them open. This falls on coaches AND players. Watch the good teams, the bigs always screen off the ball because it is so much more hard to guard. Since the cuse really has no one who can penetrate, them sitting in the short corner all possession waiting for a dish then dunk serves the cuse no good! I could go on and on, but good grief, I just cannot gain any confidence in this team to win a big game in these next two weeks. Hope to heck i'm wrong, but just cannot see it! CUSE! [/QUOTE]
