I can't wait until Red is gone.

Any decision maker affiliated with this program should be flat out embarrassed and run out of town. Allowing Boeheim to stay too long and making an awful hire, just because he played here, destroyed this program. This basketball program had a storied past and now is an absolute joke. Congratulations.

Red slamming the table wasn’t a good look imo

Another bad look is Melo leaving very early.

 

[Ghost]

And didn't VT only have one guy on the box?

Yeah, suddenly Donnie started doing this thing where he faces the guy - gets pushed under the rim, i think he's trying to pin him into George (or whomever is 3rd on the block) and then turns to get the board.

I'm not sure why...I think it started after someone went around him last game or a few games ago. Or maybe he always does it. Idk.

We suck.

He can't be happy with how the season is going

In a year full of weird lineups tonight was an all timer. Still trying to figure out what I jus saw

Come to our game watch Saturday, and we can discuss. Oh and not bother to watch the game. RT O'Sullivan's 7575 16 Street. (Old Gallaghers). CuseCactus you too.

As I said after the BC game, we could end the season with a losing record. Probably 50-50 odds right now.

Started off the post game presser with:

“We walk under the **ing rim and don’t get a rebound.”

Was he doing shots?

 

[Bill Orange]

Was he doing shots?

No, but I was.

So, I was not in the thread until the very end of the game. But I saw there was a discussion on whether to fire Red now, or if we have to wait for the end of the season. I think Jeremy pointed out that this is not as easy to do in basketball as it may be in football. BUT if it were to happen, who would be the interim coach? I don't see anyone on the bench that we want either. I think that limits the ability to fire him before the season is over.

Exactly

0 accountability in the press conference. A lot of "We" and "They." No "I".

 

[Bill Orange]

Mike Young actually had a game plan— go straight at us and draw fouls…Tech was +14 on FTM’s— ballgame.

Engelstadt was a head coach. He wasn't successful but he at least did it.

 

[Wrinkle]

This felt worse than the BC loss despite Tech being a superior team. Feels as if the season slipped away tonight

Wondered if others noticed.

Did he mention what they "talked about"? "We talked about ___" We talked about ___"

 

[DaCuse]

We just didn't knock down shots.

Wondered if others noticed.

Everyone in Syracuse notices everything Melo does.

Reds gone but there not gonna fire him essentially 60% into the season. Only about 6-7 weeks left they will just play out the string and announce his firing after the Acc tourney exit.

Just a pathetic loss.
-Donnie killed us. He’s not tough enough yet. You can have games where you can’t make a shot, that happens. But you can’t be physically abused on both ends, refuse to go to the basket and only shoot jumpers on which you can’t get fouled and have the ball taken away from you. It was fitting that the game ended when he could not box out on a free-throw.
-I cannot for the life of me understand why Kiyan played so much. As I said in the game thread, Red went with Kiyan for the majority of the second half yet when they had a chance to win, he put Betsey in. That makes no sense. Kiyan was 1-6 with poor defense. We could not score at all, and Betsey just languished on the bench. Makes zero sense.
-when Sadiq White thinks it’s OK to shoot a three-pointer early in the shot clock on one of the most important possessions of the game, It says so much about the program. None of it good.
-Our offense is a joke. We were literally trying to force the ball to Kyle at the top of the key and had turnovers as a result even though Kyle can do absolutely nothing there. There were times when Kyle was backing down and four guys just watched him. We don’t move the ball or drive and dish and as a result, we don’t get good or uncontested looks.
-I’d be remiss if I didn’t once again point out how terrible our guards are defensively.
-no meaningful games after January once again. At no point did I ever have faith that we’d win. We deserve better.

Donnie played like an underclassman.

Hey, MAYBE mix in 2-3 zone??? Worked v. Pitt & Ga Tech.

Nope it was we got to do “X” better over and over
