Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1635360, member: 289"] - Jimmy Salatin said after the game “There are no moral victories for a school like Syracuse but this was a strong performance”. There are no moral victories for anyone because the term makes no sense, (what would an immoral victory be? Accurater told me tonight: “The Duke game, two years ago!). Performances can be encouraging but in January we’re not looking for encouragement. We’re looking for wins. And this was still another opportunity for a big win that slipped away from this team. - And tonight we were a two man team. Michael Gbinije and Mal Richardson combined for 47 points. That’s great but their teammates combined for 18 points. Two guys can’t beat 5 guys. - After getting 20 rebounds vs. Duke, Tyler Roberson had none- zero- at halftime. He wound up with 7. After we grabbed 26 offensive rebounds vs. Duke, we had 9 in this game. - Tyler Lydon: 26 minutes. 1 field goal attempt, a three pointer. He’s 6-9! He can pass but had no assists. Virginia, like so many teams, burned us from the top of the key. We had no one there. Lydon was always out on the wing or out front, 25 feet from the basket. The guy is 6-9! - DaJuan Coleman: 2 points in 22 minutes, both from the line. He did have 6 rebounds but no assists, blocks or steals. - Trevor Cooney was 2 for 8 from three point range but only 1 for 5 from two point range. - Franklin Howard played 5 minutes, his night ending when he missed his only shot, a three pointer early in the shot clock that made him 1 for 11 this season from three point range. - JB complained about our interior defense in his press conference thought our problem was the exterior defense. We allowed far too many open threes. But JB explained that: they are trying to help out inside. It's like we have more leaks in the dyke than we have fingers. [/QUOTE]
