Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Anyone else come close to crying when Waiters went down? Yeah he comes off the bench, but he's the best player on the team. We might be deep, but if we lost him Final Four dreams go out the window. So glad to see him come back in. Good game for the Orangemen, even with their usual ten minutes of mediocre play that lets the other team get back in it. If they ever played a full game all out they would be unstoppable and win by 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 You could hear a pin drop in the Wells Fargo center...(A)Because it was a predominantly SU crowd, and (B)Dion's a philly guy...but then a 'Nova buddy of mine ruined the moment when sent me a text hoping that Dion broke his ankle.... Glad MCW got some good minutes...was thinking he may have been in the dog house or something... Officiating was horrible on both ends...way too many anticipated calls...Jim Burr & Tim Higgins(reffed the previous game) are way past their 'prime' they are just awful out there Anyone else come close to crying when Waiters went down?

I thought it was going to be like 2010, when we lost Onuaku, which killed our chances in the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on Notre Dame! Agreed--i think that's how you have to beat Pitt. Just drag the game out and exchange blows until the bitter end. Even in a down year, Pitt's bigs are tough. I don't get all the criticism re lack of toughness by Pitt--those guys were fighting down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I could see us going down to cincy on the road without melo. Let's hope this is sorted out and he's back on the court after these 2. Reading b/w the lines, if he doesn't get his stuff together, it could be a lot longer.

Agreed. Also, not buying that we lost because of Melo. We just played a really poor offensive game--shots weren't falling, while ND was banking in 3's. I will say that of any team knocking us off, I don't mind it being Notre Dame. I like the program and Brey. And to think they're competitive, even having lost Abromitis for the season, is very impressive. Good for them. Let's bounce back against Cincy!

Bodacious taa taas are never off topic. Da 'Cuse took a few punches in the face to begin the game, with Cinci pulling threes out of their ass, but just when all was looking grim they found their mojo and pulled it out. And they did it with Waiters having no touch and riding the pine for the most part. Christmas got some game working and our big three: Joseph, Scoop, and Trish got it going when we most needed it. The Bearcats are no slouch. Good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved seeing KJo get his mojo back too. He's been missing for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Vague is an understatement. Does that mean he could not come back at all? Or that he will but it might not be until the end of the reg. season. I think I could live with the latter as we have bigger fish to fry than the Big East this year.

The Poojer Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 was it a goal tend? i know you can't bat the ball against the backboard on the way to the basket, but this came off the backboard...not sure if it was on its way down, but i imagine if its banking off the backboard from a shot taken below the rim the ball would be travelling upward at that point and not downward.... anyway...a win against a scumbag like huggins is always good....

I think it was a goaltend if you get it after it hits the backboard; would be different if he blocked it and pinned it to the backboard. I couldn't care less how we beat those guys. A win is a win. By the way, has keita regressed? The guy has no hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It was a goaltend but so what. I'd rather have the ball in a tie game with 9sec's left than have a 35% chance of losing on a 3 as the clock expires, at least when I'm at home and have the better team. I think Huggins felt the same way which is why they went for 3 in the first place. Keita has always looked like he's trying to catch an iron. Hopefully Fab is back for the G'town game as rumored.

College refs, much like NHL & NFL refs, are terrible. That said, I'm not going to apologize for a bad call that finally went SU's way. I did think that the 5th foul called on Xmas was legit, but the 4th was a terrible call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 the game against UCONN should be packed, I bet 30,000+...I would recommend staying away from trying to park near marshall street...I would go with your first suggestion of Manley or Skytop and shuttling over to marshall from there for some pre-game fun....same can be said for Dinosaur....I would bet after the game will be a wait of at least an hour..
