Couple nuggets in here...

The "disinterested" Boeheim has adjusted his demeanor (and so many of you thought that simply wasn't possible!!!) as he has recognized that the last thing the team, and players, need right now is a kick in the teeth...

Boeheim's bullishness earlier seems to have been a function of the fact that he thought they'd adjust to playing with each other much more quickly than they have and would be much better offensively than they have been...

I do think that we got good looks in the UConn game...we had several open 3s rim in and out and we missed a bunch of lay ups.  But I also concur there were also too many possessions where we ended up with some terrible shots as the shot clock was winding down.

I know we only gave up 50 pts to UConn but I actually thought our defense was not good...We had two guys to worry about  - Adams and Purvis and, up 40-30, Purvis was allowed to take, and make, 3 wide-open threes during their run.  Gotta tag him and we didn't do it...

Thrilled for Coleman after such a difficult college career.  Kid was a beast on Monday.  Hopefully he can keep it up and everyone else gets better...

One other thing, when my three sons were rooted to the bench and Cooney was allowed to play through his horrible shooting nights, the screams were loud and clear.

Now that JB has actually benched a guy who is not playing well (Roberson), the screams are loud and clear that he needs more PT...

LOL...

I do wonder what happened with Chukwu.  JB clearly thought he would be a big asset, and not a liability, at the back of the zone and press.
