Who on the current team would get even negligible minutes on that squad? Maybe some for Eddie, but I couldn't really see anybody else. God knows JJ wouldn't get minutes over Trevor.
Loved it. Thanks for posting. That team was coached. And had players. And the players played. Even played defense!!!!!
IMO, a properly coached Donnie Freeman would definitely get some PT. I think Starling, Eddie and Jyare would be part of the rotation also. Possibly even Bell on those few times per year he just goes off. Obviously none of those guys would need to play heavy minutes. It would be limited and situational based on their production on a given night.
Let's not forget Lydon hitting a 3 with only one shoe on. "This team is like Cinderella".
In this hypothetical, I’m operating under the assumption that playing under JB would light a bit of a fire under them and not allow lazy defense to an extent.
Fair, but I think we end up with a much better record had JB not been suspended and the NCAA suddenly pulled the rug and moved up the suspension the eve of the Georgetown game. We were terrible in his absence. I think if we have him we beat Clemson, Georgetown, and St. John’s.
Same. This and the game when John Thompson got kicked out of the Dome stand out as my two favorite games I attended.
That was a fun run. I played hoops in LA wearing all Cuse gear with some buddies and Jerry Ferrara in the lead up to the FF. Just about everyone was rooting for us that year.
For sure. I was at both the games. Lots of Cuse fans in the building created a great environment for both wins!
JB seemed to generally do better in the NCAAs when they were out of the conference tourney earlier.
I agree that a 100% Donnie might get a few minutes. I wouldn't want Lydon off the floor for too long. My thought on JJ was simply that his defense is terrible and I'm don't know if the zone would have covered that up enough. A motivated Roberson would really limit Jyare I think.
Brought tears of joy. Then sadness as we were nowhere near that level.
