- Before the game I met an old friend from work, (I’ve been retired for 13 years), at the game and we discussed the state of the program, recent years, the players on this team etc. My friend said he just hoped that we could have another winning season this year. I agreed with him. Then he said “not that Boeheim cares…”. We’re still friends but I have to say that any fan who thinks that he wants SU to win more than Jim Boeheim does is not only wrong, but arrogantly wrong.
- Cole Swider hustled enough to get 7 rebounds and scored 7 points, (including a sweet pull-up jumper I’d like to see more of), but his five turnovers were the stuff of legends. Twice he tried to make passes and bobbled the ball before it ever got to his intended target. Then he made a lazy pass out front, leading to a break-away. Then came the worst one: Jesse Edwards had blocked a corner jumper. Cole reached up and grabbed it, only to have it grabbed out of his hands when he brought the ball down, resulting in a lay-up and JB’s attempt to kill him with X-ray vision, (which he fortunately doesn’t have). Then there was the late turnover where he heroically dived on a loose ball, slide across the midcourt line to do so, then threw the ball backwards to a teammate on the other side of the line. A true tour-de-farce.
