Uconn/Cuse

[HuskyHawk]

You can screen the middle guy in the zone with a big and come in from the wings. In fact, that works better against the zone it would seem.

No reason Larrier/Anderson or someone like Polley can't do that. The key is the screen. Cobb should be able to handle that.

Sure. Larrier and Polley should be pretty decent at that. But rather than sending in a 6 foot guard, why not use a bigger player? I'm just frustrated by how little we even try to get them involved in the offense.

@Storrs South reminded me of that btw. UCONN used to use that as a secondary option, after their primary strategy of running a guy at the foul line. The latter was the JC go to for torching the Cuse zone. But the former mixed it up and was very effective in that roll.

The conference is the only thing saving us! I’ve been here for decades and have 1 NC because I had the ncaa start vacating the wins after that season! We’re playing UConn again after coasting on their accomplishments in the big east! Dion Waiters is my best pro!


Am I missing any?

 

[upstater]

Hate Cuse pretty scared of this match up. Can't open the seams if you can't make shots. They are long, not especially quick in the zone but very long. Will be interesting, think our defense will need to be very good to keep this one within reach.

You know--Alterique would help here--a lot!

Sorry, had to do it.

 

[UConnSwag11]

@MSGSeven the lack of enthusiasm by the board is nauseating. Tomorrow is a big game for both programs. They’re a vile school and an even more vile fan base. They’re saving grace is that they got into the acc and they act like they’re gods gift when UCONN carried the torch for the big east. Everyone knows NYC is @Storrs South.

I just looked up the box score to last year’s game. Adams had 16 7 and 7. We need him to have another big, complete game.

Also, Facey had 13 boards. Some of our bigs have been impressive on the glass this year. They need to fight hard and stay out of foul trouble.

So, the question is, would you trade Cobb, Carlton and Larrier for Brimah, Facey and Purvis?

I have to admit, I've been asking myself this question now that Alterique may be gone.

I don’t know about that but I do know that I would absolutely kill to have last year’s Facey on this year’s team.

I have seen a bunch of Syracuse fans say that this team is much worse than last years team. I... I dont understand them...

I was just going to post this!

Shout out to my nephew who was in the suit.

He was in the Sports Marketing program for both his undergrad and grad work here.

He never dressed as Jonathan for games, but did these promos and a few public appearances.

My favorite part of this is I think they used the wrong color for Syracuse at the end. Now that's disrespect.
