Syracuse is terrible

I mentioned this in a thread last night. I dont really care how high you can jump, what your wingspan is, or how fast you can run a 40. To be a good basketball team, you simply need guys that can just put the ball in the basket...and play good D.

You had Loyola players finishing at the rim with Kofi coming right at them. Nailing their free throws too. Certainly stood in contrast to yesterday.

But they have two unathletic players who 99/100, nail the three point shot. If you don’t have players who can hit the three point shot, that you don’t have a chance.

The most aggravating part is that either would have helped us tremendously.

Makes life so much easier. Especially if your are not running a lot.

Give them credit please they can make shots. Can’t stand them at all smiling, laughing, pointing cocky d**kheads but nonetheless wish we shot it like they are.
Thats what my post is about. Buddy and Girard.

Look at our 2014 Championship team, outside of Shabazz, the one thing that made that team so good and such a tough out in the tournament was their free throw shooting. What was it? 89% free throw shooting for the whole tournament? That is great. That team had a lot of guys that were a threat from 3 as well. Shabazz, Boat, Daniels, Kromah, and obviously Niels.

So ... you’re saying recruit “players“ and not just athletes?

Which brings me to a pet peeve. I’ve seen way too many mixtapes that are 90% dunks. As if those are the kind of shots you get routinely in college ball.
 
He needs to find the open teammates if he's guarded by 3 players.
Yes, he does. It’s hard when players like polley pass to him when he’s guarded by two players and then turns is back and ignores Bouk. Multiple players do that. Putting it all on Bouk is a cop out. We’d be a sub .500 without him

Exactly what I’m sayin! But it looks like help is in fact on the way. Hawkins seems like a solid shooter, and Johnson looks like a big guy who has range.

I agree. Diggins is a creative point guard too, and will really help down the road, though with both Cole and Gaffney maybe not much next year.

If Cole is our starting PG next year, nothing will change.

I think Hurley ought to put his strongest team on the floor. If that means Cole is the third guy in the PG rotation, so be it.
 
Serious question. As a college team in 2021, would you rather have Bouk or Buddy?

Remember when Bouk was out and I said we were an average team , and you said wait until Bouk comes back and I said we’d still be average when Bouk came back, and you and the rest of the thread excoriated me?

I remember.

you want me to dig up screenshot?

Cole is one of the only guys coming back that can remotely shoot the ball (not saying much). But he’s going to be playing 25+ minutes regardless
