That felt good

Defense was stout in the second half and Vital calmly sunk them. Good job fellas.

Only felt good after the buzzer.

The more things change, the more they stay the same: Uconn plays Syracuse and Syracuse loses.


4>1

The last 8 minutes I kept thinking how spoiled we are that the intensity and performance is the norm for expectations.

Any win over Syracuse is great. But God awful to watch. How many times did Bilas say UConn and Syracuse made bad decisions? Countless. It really looked like a lower D1 game.

Did their best to give it away. What goes through Amida's brain most of the game?
Big props to Kentan though, he came to play. Nice free throws by Christian too.

this team is cardiac in sneakers

This is going to be a season of low expectations. Glad we won, praying we get more cohesive.

Winning the Super Bowl is a monumental event, beating Syracuse is expected.

Offense will look a helluva lot better against the Zone when (1) Durham, Enoch, Jackson sink that foul line jumpers. Durham hit a few and will hit more. These are kids that really have not played bigtime college basketball and, particularly in a MSG environment. They need to grow up and make that; and (2) Make a higher percentage of 3s. I am confident that Vital and Adams can get better. Jackson has to make some.

included offensive. Wide open and 3 feet from the rack and he hesitates

I was reading the article in the Courant this morning about Vital growing up in the city and all his friends and family being there tonight. Wasn't sure how he'd react in crunch time.

Durham played his best game so far LOVED how he got in Lydons face after a tough foul

Weird game. We are getting better against the zone, though we are missing some good open looks and bunnies. Our D has been good and also getting better. Given our injuries looks like we are doing a successful "reset", at this point. Also, our fans at MSG need a shout out and a thread if none has been created already.
