Has Buddy made a three since he announced that UNC couldn’t guard him?

I think not.

More airballs than makes.

 

[Ghost]

Huh. I wish I had something nice to say, or add after that one.

Gotta make shots.

 

[OrangeDW]

We were uneven before the second “pause” but I thought there was promise.

We’ve been absolutely horrific since returning from that second pause.

Winter in Canada is two hours closer to being over?

Between JG3, buddy, Marek, none of them can create their own offense on a consistent basis at the ACC level and all are liabilities to some degree defensively. Will there be games where they play well, yes, but it is not something they can do game in and out in the ACC on a consistent basis. The athleticism, size and strength just isn't there. Nothing will change until that is resolved.

We don't guard anywhere. No interior defense. No perimeter defense. The guards at the top of the zone are beat on penetration like a drum. They are slow to ever close out on shooters too. The rebounding is abysmal except for Q. Our slender guys get pushed around. Pitt just had disdain for them and blatantly was just shoving them all game. Buddy was off all game but is never taken out. We have no center even though we have 4 on the roster. Won't have one next season either. Exasperating.

Fact! We're actually in the midst of our first decent snowfall today

Spot on. The athleticism advantage PItt had was very clear.

 

[HOFCeluck]

It was pretty cool how Pitt transition’d all over us and got at least a couple put back dunks on us like they were Syracuse and we were Colgate. Hope to see more of that in ACC play

I'm good with a "pause" for the rest of the season.

How many dunks do we have this year? Yeah I know, who cares. But it has to be minimal.

Oh, you'll see plenty of that.

He will call out a player today my guess Richmond and he will deflect blame

I can tell you 2 players who have zero.

Athleticism level is that of a D-III team.

 

[NorSyr66]

WOW....hard to believe Pitt had 64 points in 2nd half.

No big deal unless you think dunks are a proxy for athleticism or something silly.

Im sure well be fine.

Lets face it we are weak in the front court and slow and unathletic in the backcourt. Thats a really bad combination. Jim has pigeon holed himself when he makes his son the primary scorer. The potential of the program will be severely limited until Buddy and possiblly Jim are gone.

W the exception of QG most of our guys do not have the requisite strength/athleticism to be upper level ACC. All our guys look skinny and play soft. Gave up 96 to Pitt, WOW

4 Centers, none available or serviceable. Have to play an undersized 4 at C. I thought last year was the low point for the program and it was trending back up. Not sure now.

One suggestion for days like today, take Buddy out, put in AG at 2 w either Kadary or JG, start playing Bras and Woody together if necessary.

 

[Red Holzman]

WOW...hard to believe Pitt had 64 points in 2nd half.

That and the 96 points scored by PITT are the biggest disappointment for me.
If SU doesn't play D, discussing issues on offense seems irrelevant.

Good point, might remember 1 by QG against UNC

Well when you’re playing And1 basketball against the Generals, there you go

 

[OrangeDW]

Maybe Dior isn’t coming because he knew he’d be sitting behind a 27 year old Girard.
