Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Officiating was terrible, but obviously wasn't the game. When we got it down to 7, I think Paige hit a huge 3 and that was it. Nice game by Cooney, for all the complaining about him (by me too). Very successful season.
The Poojer Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I don't know, they kinda let both teams play. Some of the calls the Syracuse announcers were screaming over were calls I'd be pissed if they were called against Syracuse Officiating was terrible, but obviously wasn't the game. When we got it down to 7, I think Paige hit a huge 3 and that was it. Nice game by Cooney, for all the complaining about him (by me too). Very successful season.
Maury Ballstein Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Gbineje shot too much and froze Richardson out sometimes. Great game from the heels. Berry's floater game has been mean all tourney. Meeks was strong. Such a deep team Pinson, Hicks, Jackson, James all chipped in w valueable minutes.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Didn't I tell you about Meeks? Soft? Please. 15 points on 9 shots and 8 rebounds. The dude was a stud. I honestly didn't think either team played all that well, and the bounces tonight were just bizarre. If there was any "theme" to the game, it was that NC had enough bigs that hit those mid-range jumpers to beat the zone. And G had way too many misses and TOs for such a big game.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Props to UNC. Those late 3's by Paige were killers. Mike G was the bad Mike G last night turning the ball over left and right. No magic left in the tank, unfortunately. I don't dislike UNC one bit, but I'm pulling for Nova to win it all. Jay Wright is a class act, and I gotta cheer for the old Big East. Whatever happens it was a great tourney.
YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Just saw Roy Williams post game press conference. He a bit salty? Just old and grumpy? Edited April 3, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Maury Ballstein Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Thank god Lydon didn't finish that dunk over hicks. Holy crap I thought that was gonna be RIP to Hicks there. I hope Richardson stays and Cuse will be nasty again.
bbb Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 BBB although your a Bonnie's fan and we have had our differences throughout this thread your pretty much a luck charm for Cuse at this point. Please make sure to come by and talk hoops during the game XOXOXO. I will dawn a Bonnie's shirt next season. Sorry that I wasn't at the computer at the right time.............I do hope to see Cuse in Buffalo next year.
ChevyVanMiller Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 It was a great run by an underdog 'Cuse team. Cooney really redeemed himself and I actually started thinking about missing him on the team next year. Bring on Battle and the big transfer (forget his name) and be t year should be fun.
Beerball Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Too early, but...what were your thoughts about Hopkins prior to the season? What are your thoughts about Hopkins now that the season is complete? Do you think that his very short stint leads the administration to at least question his ability to someday lead the team?

What are your thoughts about Hopkins now that the season is complete? Do you think that his very short stint leads the administration to at least question his ability to someday lead the team? I say too early to evalute due to the small sample size, and the team was playing like doodie anyway right after Atlantis pretty much until JB returned (and then they stunk again after about 7 games). I think Hop has earned a full shot at taking over for JB regardless of the results of his short stint as interim HC.
bbb Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I think having a coach where the committee doesn't count his losses is ideal.

Nice game by Cooney, for all the complaining about him (by me too). Very successful season. When that Cuse run started, I think everyone in the building had that "here we go again" feeling. There was a lot of orange in the building and the stadium was rocking. The UNC fans were awfully quiet for a bit.
The Poojer Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 We still have the Lady Orange going against the juggernaut that is UCONN! LET'S GO ORANGE!!!!!!!

There was a lot of orange in the building and the stadium was rocking. The UNC fans were awfully quiet for a bit. I was wondering what the fan breakdown was. The announcers on the Syracuse team stream made it sound like it was 90% orange fans-- but those announcers were homers too. I think they still thought Syracuse had a chance to win down 14 with 2 minutes left.

I think they still thought Syracuse had a chance to win down 14 with 2 minutes left. It was hard to estimate what the percentages were with so many lingering Nova fans and a few masochistic Oklahoma fans still in attendance but I'd have to guess it was higher than 60-40 in favor of Cuse. The UNC fans still seemed tense until under the 2 min mark. The celebration didn't really start until a minute in change left. The better team won, but there were stretches where I really thought we were going to see an encore of the UVA game.
