Can't fault the doubters. The last two years were that bad but damn the narrative is changing quickly.Chucklehead on the broadcast all game saying we wouldn’t keep hitting 3’s. Rique shut him right up
True. But at least he admitted his "fool's gold" comment made him the fool. He kept predicting a Cuse run that never came.Chucklehead on the broadcast all game saying we wouldn’t keep hitting 3’s. Rique shut him right up

he totally did the "nooo.... YES!" thing live. so good.
Syracuse is due for a run any second now..
Most of our 3 pointers were behind the NBA line. Not sure we want to rely on those too often.
That being said, there's a big difference when players shoot to make the shot vs. shooting just to get a shot off. Saw too much of the later last year.
I think what is interesting is that as the NBA 3 pt revolution is proving, when defenses have to stretch to guard longer threes, often the cost/benefit analysis of giving up a few % on your long threes is more than balanced by the additional space it creates in the defense, which can be very easily exploited.
Obviously you have to be able to hit a decent number of them, but I think we are seeing in the latest iteration of basketball theory, the math works.
The point being, regardless of where the college 3pt line actually IS, it may actually make total sense to set your players wider and use that to stretch the defense beyond its comfort or breaking zones.
Of course there was a very long trey from Vital.This is a good post even though I think the analysis is probably more pertinent to the NBA game where there are so many more skilled shooters. That said, were there any other deep bombs other than the late (hugely clutch) shots by Jalen and Alterique? It wasn't like we were shooting hail mary's all game.
Fran wasn't too far off. Twice 'cuse took a double digit deficit to 5.

Oddly, UConn has a coach smart enough not to let an entire lead evaporate before, well, coaching and calling a TO.
Best game he's ever played.
Really look forward to seeing him grow for FOUR MORE YEARS
When they cut it to 5, Fran let out an orgasmic "Here we go!"
