What’s up with home games?

[NineOneSeven]

I don’t get it.

They make you schedule some. What can you do?

 

[NineOneSeven]

29-4 fastbreak points?!?!?

 

[OrangeDW]

It’s beyond bizarre. The only thing I can think of like it was the 1999 team who went 3-6 at home in the Big East, and lost to Ohio at home. But they went 7-2 on the road in the Big East.

 

[Trueblue25]

I was unable to watch. Did Frank, Marek and Chukwu (to this point) really combine for 0 points and 7 boards?

 

[Briancuse]

It be nice if they didn't play like crap at home.

Ball don’t lie.

Yikes.

You beat me to it, I was actually going to start a thread comparing this team to the 1999 team. Another similarity is that team beat a #1 team on the road (UConn) as well, but would just get handled at home all the time.

yes lets blame governor carey for the program’s issues. Is posthumous criticism allowed?

Right. Only thing is that ‘99 team had that hot early season start winning that tournament and beating Michigan and Indiana.

Otherwise, the similarities are crazy right now. Let’s hope we can keep winning on the road like that team did?

You forgot kcsu

Were a mediocre team that has major issues at the 1 and 5. When were hitting 3s and Oshae is finishing at the rim we can play with anyone but if one or more of our main cogs is off this team is going to struggle to beat any top 25 team because we can't go to the 5 or backup pg for pts. Howard has been hot and cold at best and Carey is making Kaleb Joseph look like Allen Iverson. He literally can't dribble the ball at this point, its shocking how bad he looks.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

If I’m not mistaken I believe the 99 team exited in the first round in an 8/9 game against Doug Gotleib led Okie St team. Let’s hope this team doesn’t repeat that performance

Honestly...I’d be ok with that. I’m in “I just want to make the tourney” mode at this point. Again.

SMH.

 

[Eric15]

We're a jump shooting team that has zero margin for error when shots aren't falling. We have to find players that can back their man down and score on basic fundamental post moves. It doesn't have to be some 5-star talent. ND found John Mooney.

We saw some against Fab...just sayin.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Honest question, that I feel may have been answered before. Do we ever have practices at the Dome in the game setup situation? Might be time to get away from the cozy confines of the Melo center and get some shots up with that terrible background.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Team, coaching, crowd sucks

Crowd didn’t suck at all. You obviously weren’t there. The fans there were into the game and really helped their comeback. Team totally ran out of gas. Tyus was exhausted.

Agreed. When we dug that hole in the first half, the crowd was really urging our guys on. That was a big part of the comeback.

Wasn't that UCONN team we beat also short several starters? Or am I thinking of a different year?

 

[CaptainJ]

Havent any of you heard repeatedly that it's tougher to shoot in domes?

Dont feel badly, our opponents haven't either, apparently.

if pitt was a syracuse game it definitely would be a home game

In my current state, I had to read that a second time, but VERY well done!
