Virginia game thread

[cusaholic]

That was simply the greatest thing I have ever watched! God, I love this team. Frankly I don't give a hoot who wins UNC/ND game, the way these kids refuse to lose, it really doesn't matter the next opponent. Go Orange!!

 

[Dave85]

That's a cool distinction!

Coleman was breathing...foul on him.

He "threw" his chest into the Virginia kid by inhaling.

 

[Oakland]

Great call.

Now is the time for us to be awesome. LGO.

This 39 page thread is the most epic representation of what it's like to be a Syracuse fan.

It's also a microcosm of the season. We started off strong, only to struggle for the majority, then we catch fire and end up in the final four.

Thread needs to be locked, preserved and pinned.

I decided to go back and re-read most of the second half in the game thread just for fun. Seeing some of the reaction along the way is pretty cool, so I quoted a bunch of them. If I picked on anyone who was overly negative, sorry, I didn't even read screen names so I have no idea if I used a lot of the same people. I just used good/funny responses and timing/context so you'd know where it was at along the way. It starts with a post from the Under 16 timeout.

Cut the lead to 10 after the first 4 min TO. Another 4 off the lead at the next TV timeout and this thing could be a legitimate ball game.

I would literally punch Higgins in the face right now and accept the consequences.

Lydon just had a terrific block!

33333333333

LYDON!!!!!

THIS. IS. A. JOKE.

Another BS foul

LOL AT THE . . . . . . . CALL ARE YOU KIDDING ME YOU STUPID . . . . .

Phantom calls abound

THATS NOT A FOUL

Right back in it with momentum!

Yeah Coleman!

Mali for the love of god stop shooting

Now would it be acceptable to say the officials are completely screwing this game? Wow.

If the roles were reversed and it were going our way, I'd almost feel guilty.

It may not impact the end result, but certainly the score.

I think it's time to pull Mal for a good 5-7 mins and go to a big lineup

Why is Richardson shooting the ball???

Cooney stop driving. Shoot 3s please

We have more layups roll in and out then any team in America

There you go Mali!

Mal has no conscience... Lol...

back breaker

dagger. Dman it.

Richardson is worse at driving than Cooney

Malachi mugged. No call. Every time we get in contact, they bury a dagger three.

Our boys are starting to fight. Maybe they can do it. But we need a small run.

We lead the nation in missed bunnies and kicked balls that reset the shot clock.

Virginia is good, but NONE of those are fouls? Crazy.

Cooney and Lydon should jsut start launching 3's and hope one of them catches fire

We needed to play over our heads to win. Running out of time.

The officiating in this game is unreal. Feel like it's a lacrosse game and Virginia is an entire team of big sticks.

College basketball is soooooo terrible. Between the sheer number of commercials and ungodly, horrific officiating, it's tough to watch.

game

Game

Dagger. 10 mins down and we haven't even cut 1 point into the lead.

We've come out with more energy, yet the half is more than halfway done and we are still down by the halftime deficit. That has to be deflating to our players.

That 3 by Thompson ends it. Back to 14. Good run, but bad gameplan tonight

That's the other problem, he's so confused/startled by the hedge, he can't get anyone else a shot either.

Teams like UVa kill him when he's on the ball, and tonight he can't help himself off the ball. Sorry he had to go out this way, but we'll be so much better with a real point guard.

You said the game was over five minutes into it, so I doubt I want to hear your input.

they had a couple circus shots go in we've had chippys roll off, loose balls are coming to them.. it doesn't look good

and here is the trunk monkey

Trunk monkey is out! But we're so tired.

Pressing UVA is pointless they break it no problem

Turnover!

Now is the time for us to be awesome. LGO.

Wish we'd started this drive to the hoop strategy in the first half.

The net result will probably be to keep the score respectable.

Mal...

Mali!!!!!

O, snap.

The Frosh taking over...

Oh my god come on

MONEY

Well I'll be.

JB is doing it again.

MY GOD!! It's TYLER LYDON AND MALACHI RICHARDSONS MUSIC!!

I'm just gonna be proactive and call 911 now, cuz imma have a stroke.

OMFG

damn Robey

Big decision by JB...

Literal mayhem.

OH MY GOD

STAY AGGRESSIVE! LETS GO

3 MINUTES FINISH THIS!!!!

Holy cow. This is nuts

ok they are going to hit some garbage 3 to make us sweat, need to respond after

Win or lose greatest comeback by an SU team I have ever seen considering the opponent

Is this really happening right now?

OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS

TR crappy foul he out

HOW DID THAT JUST HAPPEN. We had ball and now Roberson 5th

Bad sequence there, Lydon had the look but hesitated. Good timeout by JB

Come on one more good possession Cuseeeeeee

I hope that bone head play by G doesn't kill us.

Could of been under a minute if G pulled it out.

welp all we have to do is make our FTs

LOL

G horrible at the line

PLEASE LYDON

I believe in Lydon!!!

OMFG

If he makes it please no pharao haircut 3 and DONT LET THEM ROLL IT UP
