Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Dumb move by Geno. 5th year seniors have no other options. He would have played a lot more eventually too; Gillon didn’t get many minutes early last season either. Thoughts on Kansas? Any chance?

Of course there's a chance tyus battle and frank Howard have to lead the charge. Follow it up with 40minutes of good defense

Forwards who can handle the rock in the paint and pass from the free throw line, and 3 or 4 guys who are shooting around 40% from the 3 point line. If our guards can’t get out and in the face of their shooters...we’re dead ducks. KU is missing phenom freshman forward, Billy Preston, which is significant. Today’s game is a great test for Syracuse. Edited December 2, 2017 by Johnny Hammersticks

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 Tough loss. I think we could have won that game if we had any offensive flow in the first half. Don’t get why they run pick and rolls with bigs who can’t really roll. Run that with brisett! There’s also not much you can do when Kansas has one player who can drain 3s from 25 feet with a hand in his face all game. If that guy—graham— doesn’t shoot like that, their entire offense doesn’t open up as much too against the zone. They basically got beat by one hot shooter. Not to sound bitter, but that Kansas team looks like a classic bill self team— expect a 1 seed and an elite 8 or sweet 16 upset.

They really played like crap that first half. Unforced turnovers and terrible shooting. Don't know what was with all those traveling turnovers. Some, where they were not even pressed. They sure are able to run into guys that are hot on shooting three's. It was good experience for early in the year.

Terrible errors by both teams and poorly officiated too. So, it was like travel, after foul, after missed shot, another travel, moving screen, etc. And that was for both teams. It wasn’t until Graham got hot late in the first was there any flow to the game.
Buffalo716 Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Cuse with the hot start vs UCONN Go Orange!

Almost as if JB gave him the green light to see what he has out there. Loved seeing him play excitedly...great kid. I wish they’d purposely give Howard Washington more minutes at the point. They are going to need him sooner or later.

Screaming, chest bumping , 2 put back slams my goodness I hope he can keep that up. He looked like a different player
inkman Posted December 7, 2017 Author Posted December 7, 2017 Nice win for Cuse and good to see Moyer do SOMETHING but that UConn team was not good.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Seems like Moyer is a kid who needed a boost of confidence. He made some good plays early and just kept rolling. Great to see. i am convinced that brissett could be one or the greatest players in SU history by the time he is done here.

Hard to believe that he was not a highly touted recruit i mean he got a 4* rating but not much love as a top recruit

He's big, strong, finishes well, rebounds tremendously...oh, and can shoot.
The Poojer Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Great win last night by Coach Hopkins over Kansas....I really, really, really hope he makes his way back to Syracuse once Boeheim hangs em up

The dude attacks the glass better than most. he is very aggressive taking it to the rim and when he misses he is super explosive off his second bounce to secure the bound ive never seen a freshmen forward rebound like him

I thought of that but Tyler Ennis was a consensus 5* recruit out of Canada i think the difference is Oshae went to a post grad basketball academy and all the kids there are going D1 so they play good team ball and share the wealth. It's hard to super standout
