Cuse/ND

[UCDaveD]

ND up 17 with 14:12 left.

Good example of how losing a key member of the rotation can screw with a team.

 

[SJ]

Well that makes me kinda happy.

 

[GavinEdreamy]

Lead down to 10 with 7 minutes left. Wouldn't surprise me if 'Cuse pulls this one out.

Yeah the loss of that 7 pts and 5 bounds per game have killed them

 

[WisePig]

Fab provides a lot more than the 7 pts and 5 bounds. He is the anchor in the middle of the zone. He blocks and alters a lot of shots and is the stopper for zone penetration. Missing a single player can really change the chemistry of a team like Boatwright's absence has done to UCONN. Lets hope we get Boatwright back soon. Shabazz is a much better guard when he is not carrying the whole load.

Plus they didn't know he wouldn't travel till they go to the airport. AND, having him as the erasure in the back of that zone allows the guards to stretch out to shooters on the perimeter. He was a BIG loss for today's game.

Not a big believer in Fab being all that good but in that zone Doc is correct. Doubt Cooley gets 17 and 10 although I also doubt he would've made a difference in the final score as he doesn't make them score more! Rough night, very good Cuse team will bounce back no biggie!

 

[SouthTampaBill]

Wait a minute . They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO deep! that I am surprised they couldn't beat a mediocre ND team

And this is different from the Boatright situation how? I saw a lot of "Can't wait until UConn fans start the, 'Boatright's out excuse for this loss'" from Cuse fans. Might want to go tell your fans about that...just saying

Honestly, he was a big loss for them. It shows Cuse is not as deep upfront as stated and a big like Cooley can dominate against their backline minus Fab.

Not making excuses, just stating a fact. Watching Louisville/Pitt last night, you had to appreciate what a difference Kuric & Woodall made to those teams, & the role their injuries have played in their seasons.
Take Davis from UK, or Sullinger from OSU, & they'll have issues...just the nature of the beast.
BTW- I'm always amused by those who seek out the worst in every fanbase, & then reference them for major effect. We ALL have knuckleheads in our midst- no fanbase has a monopoly on idiots with a keyboard.

Hear hear Dr. B.....no excuses are needed but so true of the obvious. Cooley was a lot more comfy I'm sure.

I realize that coming from you and was more commenting on the hypocrisy of some other Cuse fans.

UL is about 10 deep on the IR this year.
