We should be in but if we don't it's on JB

[Alsacs]

Today's gameplan was pathetic.

How he let the tempo be that slow was terrible. We came out slow again. Miami missed shots and we came back but this loss is so bleeping frustrating.

Pathetic JB didn't press till the last 1:30. He let this game be shortened and killed us because we had no margin for error. So ANGRY.

If we don't make the NCAAT this passive aggressive game is on JB.

He got outcoached by a mile.

Bring on the new era, whatever it may be.. This is getting old.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Lots of pounding the rock on the perimeter and LOTS of standing around. Good thing Lappas wasn't doing the broadcast. He'll call you out on it!

 

[CorduroyG]

i dont understand why he didnt press once we fell behind by 6 or whatever it was with 5 or 6 minutes left. absolutely had to pick up the pace. boeheim has had an awful year. and why isnt thompson on the court in these close games????????? roberson is an asbolute WASTE!!!!!!!

 

[Alsacs]

The anger I have is so palpable. We let Miami dictate this game. We NEEDED THIS GAME. Miami didn't and we let them tell us how the game was to be played.
I swear this loss is completely on our staff. We should have been pressing a lot earlier.

And we totally messed up the clock. Letting 22 seconds run and the foul? Then another 10 and foul.

I just wish we made adjustments on the fly sometimes.

It's like at halftime we either figure it out, or we don't. How long did it take us to be like, "huh, exploit the slow Aussie off the bounce." Yet, we're wasting time screaming at Roberson for not getting to a shooter after he fell down. He tried to get back up! lol

Gillon, at some point, someone should tell him, "hey, after that pick, nobody is picking up Lydon very quickly today. Maybe get him the ball?"

"Hey Lydon, what ya' doin' buddy? Shoooooooooot it!" I didn't like hearing that one segment where the coaches say it's fine because he does so many other little things. Uhhhh, half the time he passes up an open shot we end up with some horrible shot with 3 seconds on the shot clock. It's not good - never good!!!! lol

Robey had an offensive rebound in his hands and instead of dunking it bumbled it out of bounds. Then he got one and threw it over half court

 

[cuse10]

How about coming out to play from the tip? How about that?

and thompson sits on the bench. i dont get it. thompson can score the ball! we are losing! we need points!!!

We played well early. As did Miami

 

[Newhouser]

the game management was again not stellar. That said - Battle doesn't have a two trip brain freeze with a bad dunk attempt and a bad make up shot on the next trip and we win. The strategy in the final minutes was mind boggling.

JB has a sliding rule - unless it's desperation mode, the press only comes out when we're behind double digits. Larranga knows this and made sure they didn't extend the lead.

4-0?

We have to be the worst dunking team of all time.

Less about JB, more angry with Gillons game managing.

Battle/Thompson/White were all on fire. On freakin' fire.

You gotta feed those guys the ball. Pounding the ball around the top of the key for 15 seconds then finding White on an island where he's forced to chuck is AWFUL.

He missed so many passes he should have made today it was utterly shocking. He was slow on the delivery a lot when he did see the play. The first half was far worse than the second though...

Thompson gave up as many as he made.

Amazing drive, incredible leap, but tough finish. that 4 point swing was the game changing play. Summarizes our season, unfortunately.

Nobody feels worse about it than he does, I can guarantee you.

4-0?

I thought our offense for the first 10 minutes or so was great.

on a day that is sure to be filled with dumb analysis, I think this post is the clubhouse leader

I actually thought he played serviceably in the first on d. But when the ball goes to the corner he melts down

That wasn't a bad dunk attempt. He's 6'6" and had a clear path to the rim. Not sure how he missed it, but clearly that was the decisive sequence.

It will be hard to beat, but the day is young.

and it was a 2 handed dunk. most missed dunks are 1 handed. amazing.
