Man... sometimes between the announcers, the refs, streaming league games, and Mellow Mushroom... I really miss the Big East.

 

[MikeDamone]

Thanks for the jump ball call with 3 seconds before the half.

Exactly. That bs overrule essentially cost us 2 possessions

How about inbounding the ball to the front court?? OOOOOOOOOffffffffffffffff
No inbound play ready for the pressure in the backcourt. we are just unprepared team...

 

[Brooky03]

Decent first half. Frank, despite the turnovers, and Moyer are the MVPs so far. Chukwu playing well, too.

Gotta get Tyus going in the 2nd half.

Me too. The Big East was boss!!! Much better players much better games!!!

We can win this, just dont let man bun get hot

 

[justgold315]

Good half. Cut down on unforced turnovers and contested shots and we got this

 

[NateW]

He should be wearing Moyers cute shorts. We'd gave a real dandy out there.

Lol!

Not that there’s anything wrong w that!

 

[MikeDamone]

If Tyus can't take Guy off the dribble, he may need to rethink the NBA

At least he ditched the man bun. Don't hate him as much now

 

[justgold315]

Where did Buzz get all this hair?

He might be banged up or something. He looks a little slower tonight. Maybe he will sparkle in the second half.

 

[cuse10]

Tyus and Oshae need a Georgetown like second half.

You can trust the announcers when they tell you that the over-ruling ref “had a great angle!”

 

[NorSyr66]

Sidibe with 40 secs?

Sidibe is just a big mystery. Is he going to play or not. Almost think these short bursts of playing are more difficult than getting in there and going for 4 or 5 min.. Or maybe he can't go more than 1 min or so? Just don't know.

 

[rhcuse]

I shutter to think of this team without Frank.

Personally, I shudder, but to each his own.

 

[NorSyr66]

Great to see Chuckwu get out a block that shot by Hunter. He had been burning us big time from the same spot.

Yeah. I thought they may stick with the strategy of only playing him in the second half to keep him from getting cold like they did the other night. Guess not.

Good half. Cut down on unforced turnovers and contested shots and we got this

But that's what we do

 

[Dave85]

This team needs one more player contributing on offense. Our defense is great. Our offense is just on the edge of okay. This is kind of frustrating because they should probably be winning this game by 2 or 4 points. Too many trips with no score in the first half.

And they wonder why Syracuse fans drink so much!

 

[obliterata]

One of the refs is the ref who said Cooney stepped out of bounds vs Gonzaga when he had no angle on the play. Maybe he was the one who overruled Valentine.

 

[two3zone]

But that's what we do

We played our normal game, what scares me is that they've missed a lot of open shots.

 

[NorSyr66]

One glaring stat at half time is only taking 2 free throws in the entire half. UVA get away with a fairly physical game. On the otherhand if a lot of fouls are called, we lose out with short bench.

If he is, that is suspect af

 

[NineOneSeven]

Again I have no problem wih frank driving and getting it on rim

Strength was o rebounding earlier in year
