The Poojer Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 love him or hate him, i personally am on the 'love him' side, Devo played really well this morning as well....i think the kid just loves to play basketball and is committed to winning...sometimes it comes across as cocky, but his enthusiasm shows when he is on the bench cheering on his team, he is often times the biggest cheerleader on the bench and the floor....still amazed at how flynn played...he may have played himself into the lottery last nite..........................
slothrop Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 BEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY SPORT! I am speechless (and very tired). How is Syracuse going to play tonight
The Poojer Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 it is SOOOOOOOO nice to be on this side of the outcome..... BEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY SPORT! I am speechless (and very tired). How is Syracuse going to play tonight
Steely Dan Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 BEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY SPORT! I am speechless (and very tired). How is Syracuse going to play tonight At least their game is the 9pm game tonight.
Cugalabanza Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Oh, sweet mama! What a game! I'm really really glad I stayed up for that.
Chandler#81 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 it is SOOOOOOOO nice to be on this side of the outcome..... Just amazing! 'Cuse never led in 5 OT's!!
Gordio Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Unbelievable game last night. The amazing thing is they had pretty much everybody fouled out towards the end. I do not see how we could beat WV tonight but U really do not care. They cemented no worse then a 4 seed with this performance last night. If they somehow win tonight I could see them getting a 3 seed. I got to be totally honest, I would not be totally disappointed if they lost tonight. Next week is what I am concerned about. I think this team has the makings of a real nice run in the tournament.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 That game, more than anything else, showed Syracuse's heart and toughness. Boeheim made a good comment after the game-- our Bigs were gone and UConn's were still in the game for the first few OT's, and we still hung with them. And to come from 6 down in OT No. 3 (or was it OT No. 4??) was unreal. I thought Harris, even though he inexplicably missed a bunch of easy shots near the rim, was really key for us in those OT's. He hit every free throw (when have you ever seen that?), and probably had just about every rebound after AO and Jackson fouled out. Too bad though that the refs overruled Devo's GW at the end of regulation; I thought it was too close for them to overturn, but whatever.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Unbelievable game. Well worth getting about 4 1/2 hours of sleep for. Jonny Flynn played 67 minutes last night. 67. Only sat out 3 minutes the entire game, and if he would've sat out any more the outcome may have been different because without his leadership, heart, and toughness I don't think they play more than one or two overtimes last night. That is a special kid, and he may have put himself on the verge of being a lottery pick with a performance like that. Would have liked to see him drive to the hole and look to create at the end of that 2nd OT instead of settling for a long jumpshot, but that would really be nitpicking on my part. Not to take away from the other guys, because Harris, Devendorf, Rautins, Jackson, etc all played their asses off, but last night came down to Flynn's leadership and the ability to put his teammates in better position to make plays the ENTIRE game. All in all probably the best college basketball game I've ever watched start to finish.
Ned Flanders Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I think 'Cuse has a 4 seed locked up. Win tonight and I think they could climb to a 3. Win the whole f'n thing and they would be at least a 3, maybe a 2. But what would be left in the tank? Let's say they're a 3 seed and would face a team like Cleveland State...and I hate even the thought of even traveling out west somewhere. I guess that's why they call it "Madness."

I think that the NCAA said that, due to economic factors, they'd try to keep teams as close as their geographical areas as possible (without creating an unfair advantage). I can't see a team like Cleveland State getting a 14 seed. Their RPI is pretty solid.

I agree that we are a #4 at this point, which is fine by me.
bills44 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 How !@#$ing tough is Jonny Flynn? What a gutsy performance!
BuffOrange Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 How !@#$ing tough is Jonny Flynn? What a gutsy performance! Probably my favorite athlete on the planet at this point. What a likeable team, even with Eminem.
bills44 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Probably my favorite athlete on the planet at this point. What a likeable team, even with Eminem. I'm still partial to Robert Royal. Flynn is up there, though. From the standpoint of opposing fans, Devo has to be the most hated SU player in a long time.
BuffOrange Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 This is a pretty good write up on why we deserve a #3 seed even with a loss. Available 3 seeds If they're are 3 Big East #1's, that means a #4 seed amounts to a guaranteed pairing with UNC in the S16...unless the committee is dumb enough to give Mich St. a #1 over Uconn.
bills44 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Heh, I actually just read that thread and your comment to it.
BuffOrange Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 VT coach Seth Greenburg on College Gameday talking about why the ACC is the best conference. Seth - A) You're wasting your time since there are no bubble teams in the Big East. B) Try beating Seton Hall next year.
The Poojer Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 i think fatigue caught up tonite,.....again way to many missed easy chances....ughhhhhhhh..................
