Giving up 35 points on the road is pretty good for SU, but we can't win with scoring only 28 in a half. We will need 40+ in the second half to have a chance in this game.

Which we have been doing. We will see if we can get some shots from deep from white and Lydon.

Nix is 300 pounds.

Might be closure to 360 as it is a full circle

Nix is 300 pounds.

Nix has only played 4 minutes... John Gillon got him in foul trouble. He has 3 fouls in 4 minutes

It's not very often this season our defense plays better than our offense.

Half time speech...
John, keep doing what your doing!
Everyone else....do the exact opposite what you've been doing!!

Certainly not this year, anyway ...

Need to rebound better, and need Battle to open things up a bit. Hopefully he's not hurt. Lydon needs to have some rebounds fall into his hands and/or Roberson needs to become a rebounding demon, because we got trounced on the boards in the 1st half! LGO!!!!!

 

[SUskibum]

If ever there was game where they should try to feed White on every offensive set this is it.

I'm good with 15 shots from white this half

 

[Dave85]

It's was like 2 or 3 years ago our offense played really bad but our defense was so good we still won. We need that kind of game today.

Or the offense can show up the second half!

Maybe he's ill? :noidea:

I like TT's offensive game but when I watch him play defense I have a hard time reconciling that he played for Bob Hurley in HS. He must have driven Hurley nuts.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

We're a second half team, we got this

 

[kmart128]

I really liked the activity of the zone as a plus... we had a lot of steals in that first half

 

[longislandcuse]

You guys think our defense was good? Johnson was wide open whenever they wanted it and Lydon couldn't defend anything in the paint.

I'm all for feeding White. But he started 3/3 and is 0/4 in the last 15 minutes. I just want Gillon to drive. Constantly.

Never underestimate the power of positive thinking!

 

[Col. Bleep]

Need to get Lydon involved right away.
Hope he's not ill.

We've had trouble in the corners, but other than that our first shot defense has been good enough. It's the rebounding and those corners.

Come on!

Battle needs to get in attack mode. He's nearly impossible to keep out of the Lane and he's a good finisher.

 

[Cuse House]

Why does it look like Lydon isn't even trying?

 

[tee1222]

That was our ball

 

[Ghost]

How can sliding through someone's legs NOT be a foul???? It makes no sense. Why wouldn't you just make that your whole defensive scheme? Uhhhh, slide tackle them!! It'll look like hustle, so the refs won't call it!!!

We struggled with Johnson but a couple of his 3s were in transition. We have forced a lot of turnovers so far
