Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 5298852, member: 289"] - Everything on the Upside is about a game against Bucknell, a team that every team we play the rest of the way would have had no trouble blowing out. We’re 6-6: 6-0 against non-power conference teams; 0-6 against power conference teams. We will play nothing but power conference teams the rest of the way. - We started each half with as abysmal a four minutes as I’ve seen. Moore missed a jumper. Carlos got a defensive rebound but Freeman turned it over. Lampkin got a D-reb but Moore turned it over. Freemen got a D-reb but Moore turned it over. Bucknell got a lay-up on the fast break. Freeman missed a jumper but Lampkin got the rebound an laid it in. Bucknell matched that and stole the ball from Freeman, who committed a foul. Bucknell threw up an airball. Cuffe missed a trey. Lampkin got the rebound but missed a lay-up. Cuffe got the rebound and was fouled. Cuffe missed a free throw, then made the second. Result: Bucknell 4 Syracuse 3. - In the second half, we’d apparently taken full control of the game at 43-31. Chris Bell made a lay-up to push it to 45-31. The rout was on! Elijah Moore stole the ball and missed a three pointer. Freeman’s lay-up was blocked. Freeman got the rebound and got it Morre, who missed another three. Bucknell got a lay-up on the other end. Carlos turned it over. Lampkin stole the ball and got it to Moore, who turned it over. Bucknell hit a three. Bell turned it over. Bucknell hit another three and Freeman missed one. Carlos made a lay-up but missed a free throw. Freeman stole the ball and got it to Moore who turned it over. Bell committed a foul. Bucknell made two free throws. Result: Syracuse 47 Bucknell 41, (a 2-10 run, just like we have against Maryland. I’d really like to know what Red’s locker room speeches are like. - Moore, who scored 24 points against the #1 team in the country was 0 for 5 and scoreless with 4 turnovers. Red pulled him from the game and gave him a hug. - The number of times we will have 21 turnovers, (for the second game in a row), and miss 9 of 23 free throws and win will be very small. - Chris Bell has now missed his last 17 three pointers. That is ridiculous. - In the last two games, Jayre Davis had played 24 minutes, (12 in each) and not scored. This team’s problem is that the players are like a bank of elevators, everyone going up or down. We can’t get them all going at once. It’s always 12- guys trying to carry the team in this game while their teammates struggle. - Naheem McCloud played two minutes, let two guys score over him and recorded no statistics other than those two minutes. They call that a “billionaire”. Minutes played and nothing else. The guy should be charged for a ticket as a spectator. - The Gameday thread for Holiday Bowl is 76 pages. The Gameday thread of Bucknell is 12 pages. That says it all. [/QUOTE]
