Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 62693, member: 716"] Has a big in the Boeheim era ever shot 70% from the line? (Just answered my own question before posting: yes, freshman Roosevelt Bouie shot 83% in Boeheim's first year. He dropped to 59% the next year and hovered at 65.4% or below for the next two years. Schayes also shot 82% in his senior year. Dave Siock shot 72.7% while platooning with Conrad during his junior year and was 9-for-10 in limited time as a senior.) If we throw in Coleman shooting in the low-70s one year while he played the 4, that's four Syracuse bigs since 1976 who have shot 70% or better from the line (and Roosevelt's good year looks like a tremendous aberration). And Fab shot 36% last year. While I understand that he has very good form, I don't see him shooting 70% for a season while he's at Syracuse. I'll happily eat those words in April if he (or Keita, or Christmas) pulls it off. [/QUOTE]
