Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Making it this far is about as good as I expected. They didn't play too well but they just had way more talent than Cal. I haven't followed Indiana too much, hopefully they don't have anyone like Blake Griffin or Jared Sullinger to completely outclass them in the next round. Indiana probably has the best guard in the country in oladipo. He's 6'5" and does everything on defense and offense. And they have a great big in zeller. So, basically they have 2 zone busters. We're going to have to be really sharp on offense to have a chance.
BuffOrange Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I think Indiana is a bad matchup. Seems like the sort of team that gets a million offensive rebounds vs us. Plus they have a bunch of 40% 3pt guys. Triche please get your head out of your @ss - nobody is buying your lame shot fake when you shoot 28%.
inkman Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Meh if they lose to IU, I won't be upset. What you've said a d what I've heard, Cuse should be happy to make it competitive.

Hulls is going to have a tough time getting his shot off against the length of our zone. On the flip side, Oladipo is pretty much going to erase whomever he's matched up against.

BuffOrange Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Lets go Owls! Pretty dumb of Crean to sit Zeller the whole half w/ 2 fouls. Wyatt is a baller.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I went back to read the cuse/temple game recap. Wyatt had over 30 against us too. This guy can play.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Temple blew it. For any Copland fans out there, this is what my friends and I circulate when someone "blows it."
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Bump! Let's go Orange!!! Rumor: Gerry McNamara to be next head coach of Siena College??????? You heard it here first, and if it doesn't happen, you didn't hear it from me

You heard it here first, and if it doesn't happen, you didn't hear it from me Huh? Not saying that it's not going to happen, but what has he done to earn a D-1 head coaching job?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Huh? Not saying that it's not going to happen, but what has he done to earn a D-1 head coaching job? Yeah...I know it's way out there, and just a wild rumor at this point. It is not completely inconceivable, however, as Gerry does have almost two seasons worth of assistant coaching experience under Jim Boeheim. That has to count for something I suppose. Could be a nice "bump" for a downtrodden program like Siena coming off an absolutely horrible season. A young coach, with a national championship under his belt as a player, and assistant coaching experience at a major Division I program like Syracuse? Who knows? For the record, this rumor did not come from my "source" within the SU athletics department.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 FWIW....JB stated in a press conference today that he will definitely be coaching next season. Hopefully, that can put to rest all the rumors of his retirement. Well, at least until next season
NoSaint Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 FWIW....JB stated in a press conference today that he will definitely be coaching next season. Hopefully, that can put to rest all the rumors of his retirement. Well, at least until next season ill believe it fully when he walks on the court next year.
The Poojer Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 they say rumor's aren't true until it's officially denied...i hope not so in this case FWIW....JB stated in a press conference today that he will definitely be coaching next season. Hopefully, that can put to rest all the rumors of his retirement. Well, at least until next season
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I am starting to be more hopeful about the game tomorrow. if we shoot well, I think our zone could flummox these guys.
BuffOrange Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 They're not a great defensive team at all. I think basically it will come down to 3pt shooting. Which means advantage them but we have a puncher's chance.
JM57 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I am starting to be more hopeful about the game tomorrow. if we shoot well, I think our zone could flummox these guys. They have a 6'9 player who shoots 48% from behind the arc. Yikes.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 They have a 6'9 player who shoots 48% from behind the arc. Yikes. We have a 6'8" player who shoots 49% from behind the arc, and another 6'8" player who shoots 40% from behind the arc. Too bad our guards are such lousy 3 point shooters. Hopefully at least Triche gets in the groove tonight...maybe we'll get one or two from MCW/Cooney.

Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are zero percent. I am just hoping that "mediocre Triche" shows, not "bad Triche."
