It was a statistical anomaly. It will happen again in 54 years. Mark it down.

That’s your takeaway from seeing their 33pts midway thru the 2nd half vs Niagara?

They had a once in a blue moon shooting day. Boeheim was playing the new guys as much as possible to get them up to speed in the zone defense to prepare for Atlantis. It was just the 3rd game of the season and they went into brain lock when their 3's kept falling leaving more and more open looks. A perfect storm. Just flush it, it never happened.

I haven't watched any of this game but I have a suspicion that Niagra is actually playing defense.

They are a great outside shooting team engineered to beat the 2-3 zone. But they are awful against man defense. They are going end up with a record around .500. Sigh.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Next coach?

Numbers don't lie.

But VCU and Auburn happened...dude this team is whack right now

Lol

 

[Madbiker]

Loses to Cornell, Harvard, Niagara. They're not good. But apparently better than we are.

 

[Ghost]

They're built to win on the road.

Home games are a bit of a struggle.

 

[pearl31]

here ya go, check out the box from tonight - Ferguson/Cummings are transcendent scorers I tell ya!!!!

 

[djorange1989]

Paulus is doing a really nice job at Niagara. A lot better than that coach who got outscored at home by Colgate 95-63 in the last 30 minutes

You don’t say? I, for one, am shocked by that.

After the game I was ready to write it off as a once in a lifetime game for Colgate.
Then I just kept dwelling on the fact the Orange gave up 100 points.
100 points!
100 points ...to Colgate!

No matter how well a team is shooting that says there's a big problem with the defense.
And part of that problem is that the coach refuses to have anything to do with a man-to-man when the beloved zone is getting carved to pieces.

100 points to Colgate!

A Colgate shuttle passed me on the way to my in laws this past weekend. I threw up a little just seeing that name.

They shot 41.9% from 3 against us...that's obviously very good but it's not so good that it's unbeatable. The issue is they missed 38 shots and rebounded 19 of them. Good shooting night + grabbing your own rebounds any time you do miss is a pretty easy formula to never lose.

Crazy that Niagara has the athletes to play man. I thought only schools like Nova and Auburn had the athletes to play man defense.

And the teams performances since the Colgate somehow indicate that was a "one-off"?!?! Are you watching the same team as me??

But here's the thing.
Even if the Orange NEVER practice man-to-man...the players have done it in high school and on the playgrounds.
Couldn't they have gone to a man defense against Colgate and not given up 100 points???
