RS is not a zone guy. Poor shooter hopefully next year he will improve shooting.

I would put him at the high post and giffey on ther perimeter

 

[BugsyCT]

need to just hang within 6-7 pts by halftime

 

[CTMike]

Nice put back by Drummond.

 

[BugsyCT]

there we go!

 

[CTMike]

Nice alley-oop to Drummond!

 

[Walker11]

Anyone notice our guards never get offensive boards, like Lamb will take a shot and immed fall back on D. There were about 2-3 long boards our guards could have got if they followed up their shot...

In this case, Cuse guards love to leak out so I don't blame our guards.

 

[jibsey]

We can't shoot thisbad whole game

 

[BugsyCT]

2 on Melo

 

[Walker11]

Our zone offense looked horrendous all last year as well until we played Cuse in the BET. Just sayin...

 

[-Huskiediehard-]

Good look by Napier. Where going to have to get second chance points,alley hoops, fast break points. Can't just settle for jumpers.

 

[BugsyCT]

nice tray by Lamb

 

[BugsyCT]

Baaad shooting half, but we're right there down just 3

 

[usedtoberats]

30% overall 3-13 for 3's
down by 3
ok
3rd UConn SU game
we win by 3

 

[ChrisSmith]

missed free throws

 

[Ricky1Moore]

yeah we can't keep missing free throws... cuse is too efficient to give away points... i like the rhythm of the game tho... only down 3 and we haven't made anything... they got two very lucky put back dunks where the ball made its way to the only place their guys were... Uconn is due some balls to bounce their way... Napier hits 3 trays in 2nd half, drummond has 3 dunks, uconn wins by 5

 

[usedtoberats]

oh here goes goetlib again ( since we are playing them tight), no credit to our defense or coaching. doug-bag thinks everyone is sucks he is embarassing himself on every appearance

oh and just for good measure a backhanded to us .... "the best team doesnt always win it..."

 

[Walker11]

Tirico is pretty defensive towards Gottlieb's criticism of Cuse. Am I surprised to see that Tirico is a Cuse grad. They really are everywhere...

 

[Walker11]

oh and just for good measure a backhanded to us .... "the best team doesnt always win it..."

Tirico asked if Cuse can win it all and Gottlieb said "Of course, the best team doesn't always win."

Syracuse is huge for sports journalism (and journalism generally, I believe). It doesn't surprise me that a lot of the ESPN announcers and talking heads went there.

 

[Jaker]

Our bigs have to have a big second half, hopefully AO's does not hurt

 

[caw]

Difference is the foul line. NOT THE REFFING. Cuse is 6-8 and UConn is 1-4. That's a +5 for Cuse in a 3 point game.

Also, probably too many 3s so far. Roscoe and Boat are 0-3.

All things considered, I'll take it for the half. Need to start off well in the second though.

I would love for AO or Roscoe to make a basket, 0-9 is not going to cut it.

The effort (Rebounding/Blocks) are there. Just need to make a few more jumpers or take it STRONG to the rim.

 

[Jaker]

Someone needs to hammer Waiters in the first minute of this half.

 

[Kitaman]

Had a lot of missed opportunities (missing open shots, free throws, etc.) should get better 2nd half. Unfortunately I expect cuse to play better as well.

 

[sparky]

We are moving the ball well. We are playing with patience. We need to hit the open shot. I don't mind O there, because he is a decent passer and adds length. I would rather it be giffey though. Boat plays small.

Hey JWill is actually saying positive things about us. Doris is awfullllll. She reminds me of Bill Walton over analyzing and yapping.

 

[SouthTampaBill]

Most ESPN studio and game announcers went to Syracuse.

But the analysts did not
