Week 3: Other Games

[Rocktheworld]

This tops my list of things I hate to see

 

[huskyjawz]

This.

 

[August_West]

You just said it yourself. Ricky was our bench, and doron wasn’t doron last half of season. He was hobbled ( ankle I believe). The 96 portion of 95-96 was dorons least effective stretch as a husky. Watch the Georgetown BET final, that comeback was all Ricky ( and Kirk king, cleaning up Ricky)

 

[olehead]

that's it? that's what u got?
major meh.
and i use pepsodent, anyway. it's really inexpensive, works great, but u have to be able to bend down to get it cuz it's always at the bottom of the shelf. often, it looks sold out, but again, if u bend down to check, there might be a tube or 2 left in the far back. yeppers, from the back of the bottom to the back of the tippy top on the shelf, i got big range and miss nuthin if it's still there. a buck a tube is highly incentivising.

why can't u bend down?

Hip replacement, it's a non-compliant action.

Cusefan0307 "The coaching absolutely stinks"

Heard Mike Hopkins may return /s

 

[Tex-Lager93]

It wasn’t that long ago when this was us…back to back losses to Wagner and Northeastern, squeakers against Coppin State. I love the fact that it’s happening to Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville…but, at the same time, I can relate to the pain.

True. So we got a new coach.

 

[MDHuskFan]

True. So we got a new coach.

They prob missed their window to fire their coach with cause

 

[Bobol]

At the end of last season Syracuse should have walked Boeheim to the exit and brought in Shaheen Holloway as it’s mens basketball coach.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Honest question, is Syracuse a top 20 job anymore?

Yes, but 19th or 20th.

 

[Edward Sargent]

So you are saying that they are a top 20 program?

If so hang a banner

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Today is a battle of sheer will. I'm under a strict deadline for writing recommendations for my graduates and I plan to write a ton during our PD day during our boring, full school meetings/workshops...AND there are four very good watchable games before I leave at 4...

My boring, responsible choice will likely be record the TT/Creighton game and watch it recorded when I get home, but c'est la vie.

Tomorrow, I'm heading to New Haven to catch Vermont @ Yale. I'll be my first time at Payne Whitney Gymnasium so very excited to check it out while seeing two very good local teams. Probably will have an early dinner at BAR before the game, unless anyone else has ideas for a good, casual sit down dinner in New Haven that's open on Tuesdays.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Day games and USA this afternoon, gonna be hard to get any work done.

 

[auror]

This is an insane sports week. Between Feast Week, World Cup, college football rivalries, thanksgiving NFL, NBA, and NHL, there are compelling sports on pretty much 24/7 this week.

My British AD was literally celebrating goals while watching the England/Iran on his laptop during our full school DEIJB training. Cracked me up.

 

[REB1094]

Baylor Scheierman has taken three ~28 foot shots with no hesitation in the first half so far. He only made 1 of them, but the other 2 looked good. 3-5 on threes so far

 

[REB1094]

Kalkbrenner landed on someone's foot and rolled his ankle badly. Had to leave the game, hope he's okay and can come back soon

 

[superjohn]

Oh great, Kalkbrenner is hurt and Creighton had 15 turnovers in the first half. Somehow they're tied.

 

[Mr. French]

Creighton is really good.

 

[auror]

Kalkbrenner came back. Seems fine.

Update - Holy crap I jinxed him. Down again.

 

[REB1094]

Kalkbrenner came back. Seems fine.

Bad timing. Just went down again, holding the same ankle

 

[superjohn]

Crieghton starting 5 is awesome.

 

[REB1094]

Creighton controlled the turnovers in the second half and ran away with it. Their defense is SUFFOCATING. Beat #21 Texas Tech by 11

Nembhard and Alexander played very smart and under control. Kaluma still plays very clunky, but it works - 18 points on 6-11 shooting. Scheierman takes some really stupid shots, but makes enough of them to force you to respect it. Kalkbrenner completely dominates the paint, and apparently has ankles made of steel. Rolled it twice really badly and played through it.

Their bench only scored 4 points. 2 were halfway through the 1st half and 2 were a garbage time dunk. And they still beat a ranked team by double digits.

This team is really good.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Crieghton starting 5 is awesome.

Good starting five, but I'm not sure they have much of a bench.
