Texas Postgame

[CorduroyG]

Up 1, texas misses, chris bell stands still and watches the ball bounce off the rim while his man crashes the boards and keeps the ball alive for texas which leads to them taking the lead and never giving it up.

I dont think i can watch another year of his lazy play and god awful body language.

 

[UpstateSM]

Please bring Bell off the bench. He shouldn't be rewarded for lack of effort just because every blue moon he gets hot from 3.

He'll quit on the team because he's soft

Carlos, Bell need to play less.
No idea why they were on the floor at the end of the game. Ill post tomorrow after I watch it again but Carlos and Bell cost us this game.

 

[Eric15]

I am disgusted with Chris Bell. His effort and entire approach to the game just sucks beyond belief.

 

[Trueblue25]

I dont understand how you play Bell over Freeman there. I just dont understand

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Free throws and Chris Bell killed us.

Yes this.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Hope, I have hope now

 

[zilo]

Honestly...we should have won that. Pathetic free throw shooting and way to much Bell resulted in the loss. But, we looked a lot better than the last 3 games at least. Really embarrassing when your starting pg is at the line and the announcers are talking about how he's a 50% ft shooter. Bell is booty cheeks, start Taylor or Davis over him.

 

[Jake]

Carlos looked like he saw a ghost at the FT line on that final chance. Good lord he looked petrified.

 

[Ghost]

Fun game.

Kinda mad enough about Bell's nonstop suck that it's hard to enjoy the fact that we really fought and saw some encouraging signs.

Free throws are a big problem.

 

[Cuse House]

I fully expected Texas to cover easily today, so I was pleasantly surprised. Still think Red killed us with the minutes distribution. Good effort but it doesn't make me feel any better about this season with some tough games coming up. We have to win one of these OOC P4 games.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

He'll quit on the team because he's soft

 

[orange7]

But we are clearly boatloads better than we looked in the first three games. That counts for something. Make some free throws and win the next big one. Season back on

It means nothing. You need to actually WIN the game man.

 

[baggerbob]

They showed enough to think we can win some games.

Certain players (JJ, Lampkin, Davis, Taylor) showed they CAN defend.

It's on Red to figure out the puzzle.

Bell and Carlos are part of this puzzle. They can't be your corner pieces or we will continue to lose games to good teams.

Bell had as many turnovers as made shots, and a good shooter shouldn't go 3 out of 5 at the free throw line. 2 rebounds and no assists doesn't cut it for a starter.

 

[Irt4su]

name me a worse PG in syracuse history then JC. He makes both we have a chance.

David Edwards

 

[Cuse117]

if you switch Bell for the #20 we win this game by 15

Bell not only the shooting issues.. But the hands of stone are killer mistakes

Not to mention he’s the worst player I’ve ever seen at boxing out.

 

[RoysRunts]

Free throws and Did anybody see # 5 in the huddle, before he threw the ball out if bounds ?

Easy you can't be critical of him . He's someone's favorite.

 

[cusefan88]

They can turn the ship around. Taylor is a solid defender.

 

[Cootface]

I would argue Carlos should be benched for good. I don’t care who you put in. Guy is a complete detriment to our team. Can’t remember the last time we had such a terrible starting PG.

I don’t want to see him on the floor again.

 

[Cstate]

Observations from the front row……

Starling balled out!
Davis works his butt off!
Carlos is not close to being a Power 5 player!
Bell had 2 good moments, and the rest bad!
Donnie had some good moments!
Lampkin plays hard and has great court awareness!

 

[DoctahLexus]

We have depth so we can park his bum asz on the bench if he is going to be off in his own little dream world. Sorry for ever defending the guy. Nutcase. Can’t freaking stand his attitude out there.

 

[dwilmont44]

I wish we had some people capable of making 3 point shots.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Glad we made it close and hopefully we can win tomorrow. Surprised people thought we might pull that out at the end missed shots and turnovers were what I expected. Bell and Carlos need to be dropped start Cuffe and Petar and bring Bell off the bench.

Agreed. If a team zones us, he can play. if he's on a heater, he can play.

That's about it imo. I've said this for 3 years now.
