Yup. We all probably remember the story of Dion cursing at him on the bench his freshman year, and he was ready to leave after that year.I don't think JB bails on Benny despite that as we know from that Devo podcast guys talking about how he wants and likes that fighting spirit.
Not really impressed with any team in the league. UVA looks like top dog but they have flaws too. I gotta believe there is a chance,There’s only one thing left to do, Cous. Win the whole effin thing!
It’s such a stale scene. I can’t believe it’s still going, lol.Boeheim just can’t help himself in the pressers. I can’t believe how rude he is to Donna for no reason. Always has been. She’s the nicest person ever. Didn’t say Malik had a good game. Said he’s doing what he’s suppose to. I gotta stop watching these lol
Joe was so good he only got thrown under the bus just a few times in the game thread!When someone other than Mintz CAN become unstoppable, without a shadow of a doubt in second halfs we go from tough, to very tough. Joe was that guy today, He was Awesome!
Great job against the press just don't throw the lob too far under their basket unless it's Brown.
Great team effort by everyone!!
Rick Jackson but more of a wing.Brown is the starter now and will be for the next couple years. Exactly the type of player that just wins games with smarts /toughness
It is extremely uncomfortable. I feel awful for Donna.Boeheim just can’t help himself in the pressers. I can’t believe how rude he is to Donna for no reason. Always has been.

When qadir decides to make the easy play instead of the “cool looking” play, he’ll be a force. He’s quick with some legit sizeI'm still high on Quadir. He has some things to work out but he came in ready vs Pitt. He can help in spots and has the raw skills to be a player for us long term.

Not sure what Jesse is supposed to do. If he plays up in the zone they dump it down to the guy running baseline for a layupI thought Griff was gonna pop a blood vessel in the first half. Jesse kept getting cooked on D and Griff was not pleased.
I don’t see why he won’t. He’s got time and it’s actually easier to do the more effective thing.I think he will. Also hope he doesn't lose that edge too. Choose when to bring the flair as well.
A triple threat at the foul line does major damage against the SU zone (against any zone, really). And Mutts is an excellent all-around player.Not sure what Jesse is supposed to do. If he plays up in the zone they dump it down to the guy running baseline for a layup
If he plays back, it’s a wide open shot from the FT line. Most teams are too stupid to exploit this.
Yeah, we're not good enough to exclude contributions from guys. We need all of them (even Bell), and we need them to remain engaged.So, Benny just has to understand that he hasn’t separated himself from anyone at that position. JB is probably still going to play the hot hand at both forward positions the rest of the year.
I still think JB will start Benny - but the leash is getting shorter. If we get good active Benny- he’ll play more. If he comes out and plays defense the way he did tonight early, we’ll see Brown more.
It’s that simple. It’s hard for a five star to accept that role, but the tape doesn’t lie.
It looked to me like Benny was mad he didn’t start the second half. Then JB put Benny in and Benny immediately took a very tough turnaround shot that he got fouled and JB wasn’t thrilled. Benny made 1-2 from the line.
Next timeout JB puts Taylor in on offense and I think he was about to go offense defense with Justin and Benny…but Benny throws a fit and JB sat him the rest of the game.
Also note that the first rebound after Benny pouted, Taylor got jumped over on the defensive glass for a rebound that I bet Benny gets.
We’ll need them both.
