Maury Ballstein Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Not yet sir . Season ain't over yet. Congrats on the blazing start. I like watching Grant and Cooney. Meh on the rest, my boy Marcus Paige hopefully will show Ennis the door once ACC Tournament gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Another close game... They play every single game close. I can't think of another #1 rated undefeated team that plays every game close. You would think they would mix in a blowout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 CJ is having another rough start The thing I notice with this team is no matter how far down they are...no matter how fast the other team plays...Ennis ALWAYS plays at one speed directing the offense...calm and very deliberate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't know what to say....except for 25 and FREAKING OHHHHHHHHHHH I've got a few things to say lol 1. The refs were terrible today in favor of cuse. A ton of suspect calls against nc state. 2. Ennis and fair appear to have hit a bit of a wall. I don't know of it is physical or mental which leads me to... 3. The whole team mailed it in today. They did it after duke but cooney went bananas. He didn't have that game today luckily rak played great. 4. Really really missing Keita out there. 5. This 6 man rotation is trouble. Roberson has such a quick hook on him he can't do anything wrong out there or he gets yanked. I know that is jimmy b's style but I think some time/experience for Roberson is a necessity at this point. 6. If they've got 9 lives they've used at least 3 of them in the month of February! If it is close I have complete faith that they will pull it out. It's the same feeling I have watching the Yankees and one I wih I could have for the Bills. 7. 25 and freaking OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The Poojer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 i guess when we win i don't notice the refs but we weren't winning until the final 6 seconds...i honestly didn't think the refs were that bad, it just didn't seem like the refs were really even involved in the game...state made some dumb fouls, but so did syracuse, mostly on 3's....

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Wow. What a weird game. The refs were bad because they were so inconsistent. They called each half totally differently. I can't believe we were able to generate 2 TOs off the trap on the last two possessions. All nc state had to do was hold the ball. Play of the game was christmas' steal at the end, plus a great outlet pass. The whole team shot like garbage. Nc state struck me as pretty terrible. We just missed 20 wide open shots.

The Poojer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I've always liked mike giminski...and I will NEVER disparage bojangles! **side note - Bill'Bojangles' Robinson was a Richmond native.

BuffOrange Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ya the refs definitely helped us in this one. Got some touch fouls on a lot of high leverage possessions. I don't know what to say about a game where CJ is airballing his $ 15foot baseline shot, wtf. Rak carrying 'em was definitely a look like the Cooney/ND game - the other home "letdown game". That might not bode well for the game @Maryland. Although if we're coming off a win, that'll be a nice problem to have. It's gonna be real fashionable for talking heads to call us semi-frauds in the next week, so get used to it. But this was one bad game - going down to the wire @Pitt is nothing to be ashamed of. Now if we can't run BC off the floor, that'll be some serious cause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'll take later... Like sometime next season later! If Keita and Coleman were healthy...and Roberson was providing/given the opportunity to add offense off the bench, I'd say they could go undefeated but as it stands right now, if Fair and Cooney go cold, the team struggles for offense. It only takes one player on one team to go off. Pitt would have beat them if Patterson was 100%. They nearly did in the dome when he was healthy. Parker might be that guy.

Teams just don't go undefeated anymore and that's why I want Cuse to just get it out of the way. You rarely even see 1 loss teams anymore. Lose at Cameron next week and to Pitt in the ACC Semifinals or something like that, and I will STILL take it. Make them go I to the NCAAs hungry to avenge their recent losses.

But I think you're going to see some losses coming up-- it would be insane if we won at duke, at md, and at Virginia. If I had my druthers, I just want that win against Virginia.

boyst Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sellout.....gonna have to tar and feather you baby blue. I still root for Duke, Wake and tOSU. I will cheer for Duke in the Cuse/Duke game. But happy either way. The underdog is always fun to root for and I feel many Duke fans, even with a Duke win, will say that Cause is probably the better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Having Keita back will make a huge difference...especially on defense and on the boards. This team still has to hit their shots though. I'll just chalk this one up to a bad game. Still 25-0...could be worse. Amazing how many Cuse fans (not referring to this thread) were about to step off the ledge after the game last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Keita being out is really displaying how much Rak's game is coming together. We lose last night if not for him. Going strong to the rim, rebounding, baseline jumpers, knocking down free throws and unbelievable rim protection. He did it all. FTR. I'll be happy when Keita is back, but Rak is just earning more minutes while he's out and I personally love that he's finally starting to play with confidence and up to his potential.

What's exciting is that what we saw last night could be Rak every game next season. There is no reason he shouldn't be getting 7-10 shots next year, especially without CJ and Grant around.

There is no reason he shouldn't be getting 7-10 shots next year, especially without CJ and Grant around. This makes me really hope that Ennis' dad convinces him to stick around a year to get stronger and work on his jump shot as has been mentioned during a couple broadcasts. Ennis and Rak seem to have a really good rapport already and it would be great to see them play with a full season of getting used to each other's games under their belts. Edit: I don't know why I do this to myself. Hoping he stays when it just seems so likely that he'll leave. It must be the Bills fan mentality I have ingrained in me that constantly forces me to build up hope and then watch it all come crashing down.
