Why in the world did we stick with Edwards??

[Cuse_NYC]

I understand he was the only big available, but how the heck did JB go with him for the final 5min??? Washington, girard, buddy, hughes, qg would have without a doubt secured the win.

 

[samspann1]

No other viable option, that's why.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

I just listed it... you can’t tell me Edwards brought something at center that QG couldn’t. Hell, I would have rather had Howard Washington in the middle.

 

[longislandcuse]

Not gonna lie... if we face that situation again, go small.

He isn’t playable right now.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Buddy at the 3 is going to be worse than Edwards at the 5.

The key is for Marek and Sidibe not to foul out

Honestly, how?

He didn’t stop anything and froze when he got it on offense.

Who plays the 4 if QG is at the 5?

Ya, obviously... but Edwards is a nervous wreck and cannot be in a meaningful game right now.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Who plays the 4 if QG is at the 5?

Hughes

You don't understand the responsibilities of the wings in a 2-3 zone if you think Buddy at the 3 is better than Edwards at the 5.

 

[longislandcuse]

Who plays the 4 if QG is at the 5?

Buddy And Hughes on the wings.

It’s not ideal, but Edwards literally can’t play at this level right now.

If we’re fortunate to make the tourney, I’d rather creatively lose than watch the other team score zero resistance bunnies every time down.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

You don't understand the responsibilities of the wings in a 2-3 zone if you think Buddy at the 3 is better than Edwards at the 5.

Oh, I sure do... so giving ip layup after layup and rebound after rebound IN THE MIDDLE is ok?

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Oh, I sure do... so giving ip layup after layup and rebound after rebound IN THE MIDDLE is ok?

yes that's what i'm saying. I'm trying to find a defense where SU gives up layups and rebounds in the middle. that's what i want and it is A OK with me

Ok, then don’t play zone if this happens again.

He had zero chance to stop Mack and might as well stand out of bounds on offense.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Well, you found it for the last 5min tonight.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

was a blast, would watch again

yeah let's go man to man and have buddy or eli guard power forwards.

 

[longislandcuse]

yeah let's go man to man and have buddy or eli guard power forwards.

You act like we’re crazy for saying we should do something different than play a raw big who gave up a score every time he had to defend and can’t play offense.

Even if the other team scores at will, like they were... at least we have the advantage on offense.

We’re not Golden State but they played a death lineup of small ball and forced teams to match them. If not, Sims or Mack are guarding Hughes or Buddy.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

yeah let's go man to man and have buddy or eli guard power forwards.

Did you watch tonight? Or just assuming Edwards was serviceable

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

you're crazy if you wanted this SU team to bust out the ol' man defense for the final 5 minutes on the road against an ACC opponent.

 

[Brooky03]

You don't understand the responsibilities of the wings in a 2-3 zone if you think Buddy at the 3 is better than Edwards at the 5.

Did you watch Edwards play?

Buddy can at least guard the perimeter and could hack a guy in the paint if he had to. Edwards couldn’t do anything. Couldn’t get out to shooters. Couldn’t defend the rim. Didn’t even have enough strength to foul guys.

i watched the whole game, Edwards was like Dikembe Mutumbo swatting shots and controlling the paint. What game were you watching?

Really can’t believe anyone who truly wants this team to win could be happy with our lineup that final 5min

 

[Trueblue25]

Need a big in.

marek and bourama gave us the L tonight. Learn from past games. Edwards was forced into a spot hes not ready for, we lost.

alright, man. Have a good night
