Syracuse is terrible

[UConnSwag11]

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.

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.

going to the final 4 probably

Lol, yeah they’re terrible. If winning your first game in the Tourny and having a good chance at the second weekend is “terrible”, i’d take terrible any day.

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.

Cuse region pretty wide open so wouldn't surprise me at all....unfortunately

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

I’ll take buddy over bouknight any day in the tourney

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.

West Virginia looks like us out there with all these missed bunnies

Up until the last 3 weeks or so you wouldn’t have.

Thats what my post is about. Buddy and Girard.

Big difference between being guarded by 1 guy vs sometimes 3.

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.

He needs to find the open teammates if he's guarded by 3 players.

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.

 

[UConnSwag11]

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

 

[Luckyhusky81]

literally just tuned into the game and Matthews Jr missed a layup lol.

 

[mauconnfan]

WVU looks like they never saw a 2-3 they’re awful.

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.

Wish we looked at terrible as Cuse.

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 am glad we did't play Cuse this year, they would of REKT us!
