what I love about edwards is that he always keeps the ball high— never brings it down to where it will get stripped. he also really had a great game passing the ball. All the shooters will get wide open shots the more we can feed him the ball in the middle.

 

great game by JG3 too.

 

i get that Louisville was missing their best player, but both the O and D were playing really well today. 
 

i don’t know if they have an chance to make it even onto the bubble at this point, but if they keep trending up, they would be a tough out as a high seed in the tourney.

2022 4* combo guard Judah Mintz who decommitted from Pittsburgh has a official visit to SU coming

 

A Solid recruiting class with a lot of recruits may get bigger.. and he's the highest ranked of them all

That Syracuse/BC game was frustrating to watch! The officiating just struck me as so one-sided. BC hand checking all game and no foul calls, and Edwards is breathing on guys and fouls out in 14 minutes of play? 
 

just glad they survived that one.

Welp, there goes the season. Edwards broke his wrist.

He was the most improved player on the squad and probably the most important

Devastating news....wasn't this how we lost Onauku(sp) all those years ago?

I honestly forgot what arinze hurt...

to think, we legit could have won the championship that year if he didn’t go down.

I thought it was his knee, but it was his quad tendon.  Wasn’t it Blake Griffin who ran through us in the tourney that year?  Arinze would have had something for him.

with the fluke bounce off the backboard on the corner 3, which won the game for Butler, as I recall.

Hate to always be griping about the refs, but 21 FT’s to 4? In these games where the opposing team plays super aggressive hand-checking man defense And the refs let them get away with it, we lose.

Refs have had it out for all the old big east squads against the acc

Sad when ESPN tunes into the Syracuse/Duke game five

minutes in, and the game is already over. 
 

i guess the only positive was Benny having his best game. Hopefully he can build on that. 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Wish we could have stolen that win. They played very well, and Cole had a historic night— wish we had won for him. 

[Johnny Hammersticks]

For what little it’s worth, I’m hearing that next season will be Jim Boeheim’s last, and Red Autry is the planned successor 🤷🏾‍♂️

[The Poojer]

I wish we could have seen how Hop would have played out as HC, but I think Red will be a VERY good coach going forward.  I am going to be sad to see the end of the Boeheim era, but I want to see him get his 1000* wins(again).  He has earned the right to go out on his own terms and i am glad he didn't step on K's final tour.

I was just saying to my son last night that I was rooting for Duke to win it all.  He told me he couldn’t believe those words were coming out of my mouth.

This would be a huge get for Cuse.  Kick Joe over to SG where he belongs.  Q Copeland could play either guard position off the bench while he develops.
