Great defensive play and some nice stretches of offense, especially by brissett. Moyer played with a lot of energy; still raw but he may end up being a really solid player for us over time. Oh he will definitely blossom eventually. He's only a redshirt freshman he was a top 75 recruit and will definitely be a bigger offensive force by his junior senior season

But hopefully that comes with time. the one guy tonight who was a disappointment was Chuku. 0 points; 1 shot. If he’s going to be setting all those picks, he’s going to need to learn to catch and dunk the ball on those rolls.

Yea chukwu is the worst dunker I've ever seen from a 7'2 tall player lol but he did have a few eye surgeries and is still getting his feet wet in D1 ball. He didn't play much before transferring to SU hopefully the NCAA accepts his medical redshirt so then he's only a RS sophomore as for moyer I can see him hopefully getting a mid range jumper by his JR year hopefully. He is a great slasher / jumper so I don't see backing down that much tho. Face up and catching passes in the paint is where he will make his $$$

He seems to have good court sense, and I like his intensity. Good kid too from what I understand. Works hard. Good win tonight. Edited January 1, 2018 by Johnny Hammersticks

Tough game against wake forest next i loved cj fair and he had a tremendous mid range game. Bring him in to work with Moyer! Edited January 1, 2018 by Buffalo716
Buffalo716 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Big game vs wake forest tonight! tip off in 3 hours on espn u... need a big time step up game from Moyer, chukwu, or Dolezaj
Bray Wyatt Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I missed the last two games (EMU I was unable to watch) and Va tech was during the bills game. Hoping they decide to show up! This team does seem to have some grit to it which usually will travel well

I was so relieved to see it not happening, and thought maybe now we have a chance. Anyone have an answer to this about the Bonnies game?

The press trap is like Boeheims secret fetish its reserved for late deficits and pretty much nothing more once he erases the deficit he usually likes to return to the standard 2-3 zone which he did Edited January 3, 2018 by Buffalo716

Because, my thinking would be "This other team has shown no ability to break this press and has not scored a point in about 100 minutes. I think I'll stick with it."

I fully understand you but like you said it's hard to question a HoF EMU coach was a SU assistant and he said he was going to tell Boeheim he should run the trap more... after their game lol

Yea it's so deadly and it has been for 20+ years but he really only pulls it out down 8+ when there isn't much time left you can go games without seeing it. I have always thought they should use it More but Boeheim is adamant it only works for quick 4-5 minute intervals when they are down that it's not a sustainable defense

I agree and I cursed mightily after the final buzzer sounded that loss took a few days to shake off but hats off to Bonnies. They brought it to the loud house and stole a W hope they win the A10

Not because I have my MBA from there (and was a season ticket holder then) but because it'll help us with the committee!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 What a frustrating loss. They just frittered away the game at the end.

Battle had an awful last minute and a half, also refs seemed to swallow the whistle on a few critical plays when Wake was on D near the end
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Sloppy game with loads of turnovers. Howard does something awesome, and then 3 seconds later I’m saying “what the f$&@ was that?!” We absolutely need Battle to score to win these ACC games. He was not good last night. What’s up with Sidibe? He plays for 2 minutes, looks decent out there, and then sits for the rest of the game. No longer eligible for medical redshirt is my understanding. It’s going to be an up and down season, my Cuse friends.
