UNC vs. Syracuse Game Thread

[STEVEHOLT]

Did we stop them once in the second half without forcing a turnover ?

 

[Shark58]

that was a really good game that totally sucked

 

[Ringostar57]

Same old story...Killed in the last 6 minutes.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Is that necessary?

We just played the #6 team in the country tough as hell. Kid had a poor game, but has been great all season long. He deserves better than that from our fanbase.

The guys played well and played their hearts out. The zone lost them that game. Play a sagging man. Double team the post, and the defense is better. No way the defense can be worse than the way it is.

And Jay Bilas just said the exact same thing.

I ran the same D with my HS team

 

[Cowtown]

Thanks all, it was fun. We'll get better.

+1000000

Whether it is simple lack of depth, or the coaches not stretching our 7-9 guys enough, our players are justifiably gassed at the end of games. They have always showed heart,

The stream died with a minute and a half left, didn't see the end. No matter, the guys played hard and mostly well tonight and I'm okay with that.

We played well for most of the game against the best team in the country. The small bench is really hurting us though. Neither Howard or Joseph are even serviceable at this point.

So, pretty much the same result with JB as with Hopkins.

Yes there is...if we play man to man after not playing it for a decade.

Tough night -- I am going accross the river to see some Quebecois dancers to ease the pain.

Have we ever been 0-4 in conference?

Have to give JB credit for trying him though. I didn't expect to see Joseph tonight but JB gave him a chance. Didn't work.

Nope, it didn't. I don't understand how he can keep driving into the lane the way he does. Everything from the off-season seemed to point to him making a huge leap in his 3-pt shooting.

No. That's the been the case the whole season. Something needs to change but nothing will.

 

[tbonezone]

what was up with bilas and those two basket interference comments ? i don't see where either was even close.

Yea because the players on syracuse didn't play man to man their whole life prior to syracuse...:bat:

The TEAM hasn't played it, nor will they.

He needs to drive that through the lane and look for a cutter or 3point shooter. He's not going to get it though. Time to cut bait with him.
