St Johns Game Thread...

[OrangeDW]

I am shocked at how a program at Syracuse's level can let it get to be point where our best option at center is a 6'8" skinny freshman who is better suited at small forward. This one is on the coaches... Gotta do better at program building than that.

We got screwed with Diagne. I'm convinced it was the NCAA piling on us.

 

[Deano]

I didn't think this team was great coming into the season, but if we continue to play like this we could be very close to a .500 team.

I said to a few people this year before season started and the NCAA douched us with Diagne, but they were an NIT team this year. No inside game whatsoever and bench isn't good at all which little we have.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Boeheim should pull a Spurrier and retire in the middle of the season and walk away from this crap.

 

[Deano]

Something tells me if this was Hop's team we would see M2M cause they suck in zone

 

[Ghost]

Howard - not good enough to play!

 

[Lawrinson14]

Is it Babers season yet?

Nah. Two good freshman recruits coming in plus the 7'2 center will be eligible next year. This is a poorly constructed donut team, but we are not without talent. We'll be much better next year.

i see that hopkins moved Roberson to the other side of the zone,does mullins counter now

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

Let's get a good look and see what we can do...this is the last opportunity we have...

 

[OrangeSky]

Still plenty of time, but boy do we have to turn it around...

Who recruited this team?

 

[Deano]

That was a BS call! All ball!

 

[OrangeDW]

That's a horrible call

 

[TinyManInside]

Cooney is having a dreadful defensive game.

 

[Ghost]

What kind of freaking 18 second late whistle was that?????????????????????????????? The dude that called it had no angle.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

omfg...seriously!?

 

[dasher]

Coyle is crazy if he just hands the program over to Hop

Really? On the basis of two road games?

 

[Ghost]

Gotta have that one, TL. C'mon, Cuse!!

Little Italian guy having Cooney for lunch.

 

[Deano]

Cooney is having a dreadful defensive game.

What's new

 

[PhatOrange]

Making these judgements off of him filling in for someone else's team and trying to keep continuity rather than take ownership of someone else's team for a few weeks is insane.

this is his team and his players to. why would he not be taking ownership while he's coaching the team? that makes no sense.

how long do we have to wait to judge hopkins as a head coach. 2 to 3 years after JB is gone?

here's an idea, when you're up 20 against colgate maybe you should get some other guys run, so that in situations like this you can go to your bench a little.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

Cooney's defense today would get anyone else benched for the year. Freaking horrible

 

[OrangeDW]

Cooney is having a dreadful defensive game.

If he's a 35 mpg guy for your team, you're not a good team.

 

[PhatOrange]

Really? On the basis of two road games?

yes.

it's going to be unc

Absolutely brutal. Terrible defense.

 

[Deano]

Let's take Frank out of the game cause he's playing too well and bring back MR.
