Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 3756927, member: 1023"] This is not a skill that came easily for Jim Boeheim. He struggled for a number of years to get a good handle on this aspect of "momentum." (The most notable failure here was the last game at Manley Fieldhouse). Now, as noted, he does a pretty good job and the Orange rarely blow a game when running clock. But games can get "closer than they should be" because SU often does wait until the very end before hoisting whatever they can get. It would be nice if the team had a few plays to try to get better shots at the end of the clock. And if the defense slips, the other team can score quickly. (UNC hit some 3's and cut a 10 point deficit to 2 in the last 1:55 this week) Also, much depends on ball handling and free throw shooting. Fortunately foul shots are a strong point for the Orange this season. [/QUOTE]
