Love having Syracuse hoops back for another season! How good was that first 10 minutes too… rocking the script uniform like they should, getting in the passing lanes, looking athletic & going up & down, it was beautiful.

From my perspective, there was a similarity to the first 2 pre-season games… go hard for the first 1/4-1/3 of the game, seemingly tire out & begin to struggle. All gas no breaks is a great way to start, but it’s unsustainable & it shows. Gets messy after that.

I didn’t love the zone at the end. UNH seemingly had 30 offensive rebounds once it was implemented. I can back mixing up some possession by possession, but it didn’t really seem to position any more positively in the game? Teams are just more comfortable facing a zone, it’s pretty clear.

I love everything Kyle Cuffe does. Devo straight up called him a “Kyle Lowery looking dude”… haha, amazing. He plays solid & hard D (even bends at the knee in good defensive position, I can’t stand it when players bend at the waist like that’s getting them low in good position), takes appropriate shots, is physical, has burst/explosion (can’t wait for him to catch a body) & just a great demeanor!

I will never be someone to try & make prognostications about the entire season on one game. There’s others players that need to come back, chemistry to be built, etc. I’m just pleased we won, that we actually look genuinely athletic again, and that the season has started!
