3 things killing this team
Robey not improving a lick on O
Chuckwu being overall terrible
Battle not living up to hype yet

Everyone else is pretty much wh we thought they were

"Killing" is a tough word. I'd like to see more than Chukwu but he isn't killing us tonight. Coleman is playing well and arguably our best lineup is with Lydon at the C.

This is normal Robey - he's not plugged in tonight.

I'm glad to see Battle getting more PT. He'll get there, you can just see how long he is in the zone. He just needs to gain some more confidence, he'll be huge for us this year

We need to stop trapping hard down low and in the corners. They absolutely want us to do that. One time we didn't trap and they were expecting it and turned it over. Tag the shooters and let them beat us with paint jumpers.

Cannot let Trice or Koenig shoot wide open three's. Wow, Trice is fast.

One other random thing: Gillon dribbles too much in the half court without any forward movement. And for s little guy, he dribbles way too high. Hope Frank Howard plays well next half.

What's "killing" us is the high post getting the ball into the short corner. Our wings are soft on D,

 

[Cuse House]

Lol, ten minutes ago we weren't any good. Now everyone is happy with our effort and optimistic. This place, great case study for mental instability.

 

[Yegorange]

Robie. Unplugged. Came alive for a bit - missed a bunny and sulked again. Puzzling kid.

Tyler, go in for Tyler he has 2 fouls. But coach I have 3 . . . . . Oh

 

[OttoMets]

Yes, White's shooting is saving us right now.

But his selfish take on that fast break with Howard is the single worst play Syracuse has had this year. Can't give away points like that.

10-10 from the FT line is bananaland. So crazy!!!!!

Gillon needs to keep driving. He could get 10 pts a game just from the line.

 

[Dave85]

Only one 3-second call.. These guys are camping out in the key. This game is being called one-sided. I can't wait to see the foul counts.

Happ is 7'1. He just sees right over the trap and throws an overhead skip pass. Good point!

Good calls. Agree on that trapping. Trice is fast and agreed on Gillon. Play downhill!

Anyone know the 1/2 time foul counts for each team?

Well, Roberson not being plugged in is total bs. He's a senior. What. Inexcusable.

 

[Dave85]

I really thought Battle would have a bigger impact this season.

 

[jdubs30]

Young and Artis killing Maryland right now. Cant believe both of those guys are still there. Already dredding that matchup

lol tell me about it. Let's just hope Dixon took the knowledge of the zone with him and Stallings is clueless

 

[pearl31]

the 2-3 is such a work in progress right now and a smart/veteran team like wisky is exploiting the he|| out of that... just as with Saturday our guards really need to be able to penetrate

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Wiscy guards are slow laterally. I agree with this!

 

[jdubs30]

I agree but he is what he is at this point. I don't know why we'd expect anything different

 

[Cowtown]

Wiscy is very good at inside-outing the ball. They're looking for it right away and we're chasing the ball.

10 vs 8

I saw that, you don't see that very often on any level. I don't think I've seen a selfish play like that one out of a Cuse player in a long long time.

 

[iommi]

11 assists to our 4. Much better ball movement. Much better offensive diversity. Much better setS. Our SET sucks.

It's actually surprisingly even right now. We got called for 10 fouls in the first half. Wisconsin got called for 8. Both teams with 6 turnovers.

I've noticed he likes to play 1 on 1 ball. Great teams are unselfish, not sure we are unselfish.

It's still early, amigo. He looked a lot better in the "2nd Q."
