Tennessee Postgame

[Surfan06001]

I think he was just guarding the man he'd ben guarding (JJ on Ament), but with that height and reach difference, in retrospect, it may have been better to have someone else on him. lol

Even when he was guarding him on the wing a few times, the height difference was noticeably amusing.

Anyone who remembers the BC game last year at the Dome knows Autrys not particularly good at end of game situations.

Nah, don’t tell me how to feel. I loved the win just didn’t like the court storm.
I guess any top 25 game Cuse wins now they rush the court? Or how about any win, don’t gatekeep, right?
They rushed the court on a team that already had a loss, was ranked 13th and program that has never been to a final 4. Didn’t think this was warranted.

The court storm had nothing to do with beating Tennessee and its program history. It has everything to do with Syracuse and how everyone is starved for the program to get back to earned national relevance. Beating a ranked opponent and getting a non conference Q1 win is a big deal in getting there. Hopefully we look back at this night down the road as the start of something special.

Agreed with everything you stated. George has been terrible offensively. Almost as bad as Carlos. Everyone else has had at least had periods of good offensive play. Getting him going is a key moving forward.

We need to put the ball in the hands of our guys who can create looks in the lane. That would be JJ and Kingz. Wish we cleared out more for Kingz in the second half after he was creating looks in the lane in the first. He should be the closest to a 40 minute guy of anyone on our roster besides Kyle. He may be our best shooter, best defender, and best at creating looks 1v1 with his speed/handle.

George is a more skilled/willing passer than both of them, but like Carlos, you have nothing if you can't draw attention from the defense. Both Kingz and JJ made some nice passes yesterday too. I am not giving up on George's shooting though. He could still space the court if we have another guard driving in the lane. Think he has a high ceiling as a shooter despite the rough day yesterday.

I never posted that. Way to edit my original post for your own purpose.

I was going to give you a laugh emoji for this, but then that would have given you a like. And you certainly didn't deserve that.

Lot of people in this thread need to lighten up.

This hurts. I go to bed each night tracking my likes and dislikes.

I would have thought you were tracking your database of acceptable and unacceptable court stormings.

Storming the court after beating No. 13? Weak. If they were ranked No. 1, fine. That’s worth the chaos. But No. 13? Come on. Act like you’ve been there before.

This year I’d storm the court after defeating St Bonaveture.

This is one of those just backspace and don’t hit reply kind of posts….

Oh, FFS.

A. Let the kids have fun.
B. Those kids HAVEN'T been there.

Lighten up.

Yep. It's been 11 years since SU didn't have to sweat out Selection Sunday. In that time they have only made the tournament 4 times and haven't been even close the last 4 years. I think many on our board need to realize that "our history" as SU fans is not the current student's history.

Dennis Scott seemed to struggle with the rule book all night.

i found dennis scott extremely annoying all game. his constant "i give you a shooting clinic " got old fast. seemed to forget he was getting paid to call a game and not talk about himself. he flat out sucked. felt bad for his partner who had to carry his dead ass weight practically all game while he joked around.

Not sure his name, but the interviewer did a good job in there. He’s getting better.

Kentucky 1994 was acceptable.

Thanks to…. AA.

I just rewatched the highlights and you just can’t overstate how clutch JJ was down the stretch. We were down one with under three minutes left and Red’s coaching career was flashing before his eyes. Starling then scored five points on consecutive beautiful jumpers (bro just do that at the free throw line) which won us the game.

 

[atlanticuse]

It's a great question and it all gets down to every game on ESPN (all sports) is simply an ad to remind fans to watch the next NFL/MNF, NBA, College Football Playoff/SEC on ABC. That is where ESPN makes its money. It's bell cow. And all these other events exist to simply feed those signature events/games. And over the course of 15-20 years, people resent it.

But the ESPN personalities today like Sam Acho and College Gameday are AWESOME. Esp the WNBA crew.

The D was great toinght

Is that what she said?

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Sean Dorcellus. He is excellent.

I don't know his background, but everything he does is very good. He replaced Emily? If so, he's not long for a big promotion.

 

[CardiacCuse]

I don’t think Kingz got a shot off in the second half, which is criminal.

this was a hallmark of late stage boeheim...have a guy go nuts in the first half then use him as a decoy the entire 2nd and go scoreless the rest of the game

it was IDIOCY not to get Kingz some shots in the 2nd half

cannot HATE that "strategy" more

great win but it honeslty shoudlve been a double digit victory with how badly tenn shot the ball.

 

[CardiacCuse]

Kingz defense is terrific all game.
But how is it
Possible he couldn’t get a shot
In the second half?

it was by design (stupidly)

 

[CardiacCuse]

This is a really good defensive team. It can show up every night. I really prefer offensive teams - I just find it more enjoyable to watch- but those off nights get ugly. No reason for this team to get blown out badly when it can throw stoppers out there at three positions.

Offensively, we’re just carpet bombers. We need to take 100 shots to get 70 points. There are no easy baskets for us.

theres more than enough offensive talent on this team to have a really good offensive team as well, though

the schemes and decision making are just so bad, despite the grit and hustle

the offense would be so much better with the same players but a good coach

 

[CardiacCuse]

we would have won by double digits if we didnt have guys inexplicably just fall down and turn the ball over under minimal pressure about 5 times. Other than the constant falling, it was quite a fun game.

i really wanna know what the coaches told them or what the timeout huddle was like after going up 9 and then collapsing like that...was the weirdest thing...they started playing like they never played bball before for a few minutes

 

[CardiacCuse]

It's water under the bridge now but I can't figure out why on the last play of the game, Starling was our free safety guarding the rim as opposed to Kyle.

poor scheme
