The Official Last Game of the Season thread

[two3zone]

Well a fitting ending to this season.

 

[cuseguy]

Yikes.

He was a top 50 player.

 

[tptcuse]

Kaleb was plan A.

Ennis was plan A

 

[two3zone]

We didn't anticipate losing grant and Ennis. That made us play MG at the 3 and Kaleb at point. Anyway this has been discussed all freaking year...which I'm glad is almost over

Grant was listed as a lottery pick on some boards before we played a game last season. Ennis I give you but the writing was on the wall in February.

 

[OttoMets]

This looks like Florida State in 1997. Not everyone looks like he wants to play basketball today.

Understandable but disappointing.

 

[jekelish]

Let's just pull the plug on this season. I can't stand watching this diseased season continue to suffer in a hospital bed.

Call the game. This is brutal.

 

[cuseguy]

I made a thread about that very early in the season and was trashed for about 8 pages. I don't know what they see in some of these guys.

I have a theory, but it would come across as negative.

And many don't like that.

 

[CaptainJ]

As much as the game is making me sick, this thread is giving it heavy challenge. Where have you gone tee? Are you hammered yet?

 

[Jasoncuse]

Our perimeter players beside G are terrible.

Next year is going to be so much worse than this year.

 

[SWC75]

NC State is a really good interior defense team.

 

[Orangejet]

Two ugly days in Cuse hoops folklore...

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Cooneys drives are becoming hilarious. His layups are coming off the rim at angles and velocities one would expect from a nonbasketball player in 9th grade gym

 

[Gotothehole]

HasCooney used up his eligibility. If not he need to transfer to the university of delaware

 

[jec1521]

Did we end up passing on Anya or did Anya pass on us? He sure looks good out there...

 

[Jasoncuse]

I have a theory, but it would come across as negative.

And many don't like that.

It's the zone. They were recruited as potential zone fits, which they really aren't, and have little offensive skills for the ACC. Our recruiting has routinely been overrated and we're seeing it come to fruition with this team.

Little Tyler mini dunk fest going on now.

[SaltLakeOrange]

Yep. And we can hit jump shots...

 

[SU2NASA]

I almost can't watch Cooney at this point. Seriously, what is his problem? If he's that hurt, he shouldn't play because he can't shoot, finish or pass. He's playing like a white Kaleb.

Our prototypical white 3-point shooter can't hit 3's.

 

[FrancoPizza]

I'm not sure we've ever had a guard who was worse at finishing around the rim than Cooney. He spikes the ball off the glass at a Terrence Roberts level.

And yet some are still calling for him to get 30+ min next year. If that's the case then shoot me now

 

[CaptainJ]

What happened to thets go orange?

 

[cuseguy]

It's the zone. They were recruited as potential zone fits, which they really aren't, and have little offensive skills for the ACC. Our recruiting has routinely been overrated and we're seeing it come to fruition with this team.

That's part of it.

 

[Orangezoo]

Our perimeter players beside G are terrible.

Next year is going to be so much worse than this year.

Honestly how do you figure?

 

[Jasoncuse]

They look like the intentional misses you see from an actor trying to overplay his lack of skills.

 

[81South]

Lets keep it classy folks...tough season for alot of different reasons...no reason to pile on today.

 

[OrangeDW]

I don't mean to pile on Patterson, but when I suggested last summer that he doesn't look to be any more talented than Louie McCroskey(a hustler with very limited offensive skills) I was met with STRONG resistance on this board.

Sick of posters overrating our players every year and going nuts when some realism is provided. LOL.

Some players just aren't that good. He tries hard and doesn't seem to be an idiot. So there's that. But he's limited.
