Indeed. This team will undoubtedly improve over the course of the season....especially on defense The question is will they improve enough in time to build a resume for the NCAA tournament. After watching them play against teams like UCONN, I have nightmares about teams like UNC, Duke, Louisville, Notre Dame and Virginia. Not to mention "middle of the pack" teams like Miami, VA Tech, Florida State, and Pitt. I just don't see this team coming together in time. Watching this team closely, they lack leadership. Perhaps more importantly, they appear to lack intensity. They look tentative and almost ambivalent out there. It seems like no one other than AW3 wants to shoot, and he alone cannot carry this team on his back...even on a very good night. We need more out of Lydon, we need much more out of Battle who seems capable but lacks confidence, and we need TRoberson to man up and bang some bodies out there. Howard also needs to show more discipline, and needs to drive and dish more often. He just stands out there waiting for someone to get open. A lot needs to happen to get this team on track.

I think the problem may be deeper than this, sadly. Frankly, I just don't think Gillon is very good. Frank is better, but is inconsistent and erratic. Andrew White looks like a one trick pony. Decent spot shooter, but can't make his own shots off the dribble. I don't know what Lydon's deal, but I actually think his best college position is at the 5. I'm not sure if he will be able to play the 3 in the NBA (hence I don't think he will leave early). Roberson is terrible offensively, and all of a sudden, is ineffective on the boards. Again, there is virtually no movement on offense and almost no low-post game to speak of. Things are not looking good,

Uggh....on a train headed back home as I write this. Obviously a horrendous performance last night. No semblance of a half-court offense. I thought the foul on Battle at the end of the game was BS, however, we didn't deserve to win anyway. For anyone who hasn't been to MSG in a while I recommend you check out a Knicks or Rangers game if you are in NYC. They pretty much gutted and re-did the place 3 years ago and it is looking great. There is not a bad seat in the house, everything is very modern looking and clean, and the food/drinks are exceptional. Plus, the acoustics and sound system in there are awesome. We ended up with pretty good 100 level seats. One gripe about the Syracuse students....the student section was completely empty. UCONN students came out in droves and they were very, very loud. I know UCONN is just a short train ride away from MSG, but really? It was pretty disappointing. The Syracuse cheerleaders were not even there and we were considered the home team. Very frustrating game to watch. Does JB even know how to coach offense? There was nothing going on. No movement. No picks or screens. No low post game. Lydon was being covered most of the game by a 6'4" guard, and they refused to give him the ball around the foul line. Shooting was terrible. It's going to be a long season.

Cuse fans everywhere here. Was at the Blarney Stone late last night, and we're headed back there in a bit to start the evening. LGO!

Agreed. Whenever I eat a burger from BK, I end up burping up that nasty "flame broiled" crap they spray on the patties to make them taste grilled. Love me some 5 guys. We ate at the Clifton Park one last weekend after xmas shopping. Soooo good.

Headed to NYC tomorrow for the Cuse-Yukon game on Monday. Hopefully the huskies are as bad as people say, or this is going be be one expensive ass whoopin.

You finally figured me out!! To the bat cave!!

Without Tyrod Taylor, we wouldn't have won 6 fu$&ing games this year! Not six! These other guys just aren't ready. And I read in here about Tyrod Taylor being OVERRATED?! Most bull schitt thing I've heard in 30 years! Seriously...people bitching about Tyrod should take a little stroll down memory lane and think about who we've had under center between Bledsoe and TT.

They walk among us... Holy hell

Yes I would. I dig the chipmunk face.

Seems reasonable.

I can't believe our HC just said "poop."

Meeks? Oh good grief. Might as well put a tackling dummy out there and hope the Oakland WR's trip over it.

AKA Pittsburgh Style. Love it.

I rarely eat fast food, but I will crush a couple Big Macs every once in a while. Usually when I have a severe hang over. Thank you and RIP Mr. Delligatti!

Sponge cake. Small amount of peas. Weekend at Bernies II. Carry on...

Yeesh...that was ugly. I don't even know where to begin. I will post later...lol. Keep the faith

Seems like every woman (and man for that matter) wants a Fatbut, or fitbot, or a flatbet...or whatever they're called.

Happ is going to destroy us down low. I hope Boeheim stops spoon feeding Chukwu minutes, and let's Coleman and Lydon split time at the 5 for this one. It's going to come down to whether or not Wisconsin gets Hayes going, and if they are able to hit from outside. They have not been a great perimeter shooting team thus far. We need to get better play from our PG's, rebound well, and do a better job of controlling the paint. Honestly, I don't think we could play much worse than we did against SC. I never take a game against Wisconsin for granted....especially at home. I think Cuse comes out to play for this one.

Anthony Lynn appeared to make some nice adjustments at halftime....mixing in short passes and getting #14 involved.

A banged up secondary held Blake Bortles to a season (and possibly career) low 126 yards passing.

Smokescreen....

I heard he injured his foot. Not sure why he was even playing because he clearly looked to be hindered by the injury.

Hopefully they got that stinker out of the way. I knew South Carolina would give us a run...good defensive team with a few shooters. I never expected us to shoot so poorly (especially free throws) and turn the ball over so much. Our point guards didn't show up and it was evident. Need a big win on the road vs Wisconsin.
