Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Cooney 0-3 from downtown last night. Looks like it's working wonders. Actually it did seem to be working last night....that is if I'm interpreting Pooj's comment correctly. Having a perimeter shooting game causes defenders to actually extend out and defend those shooters, which opens up the middle of the floor for players like Cooney to "slash" to the rim and make plays. Which he did at least a couple times last night.....against LeMoyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 what i was trying to say was that with a more effective perimeter game, it takes some of the pressure off cooney in terms of teams focusing on just him as our only outside threat. now they have Malachi, Silent G etc to focus on as well....hopefully Actually it did seem to be working last night....that is if I'm interpreting Pooj's comment correctly.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I am so stoked about this season. I heard Lydon is the real deal. And I love the new offensive mindset-- hopefully we will see less of the grind it out style of the last few years. I also look forward to another full year of complaining about Cooney. By the way, who is this Frank Howard fellow? Is he supposed to play much this year? First time I have heard his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I've been hearing that the frosh, Richardson, looks to be something special. A close friend of mine, who is also a college basketball coach, texted me after the game yesterday and said that he thought that Richardson has the "smoothest shooting stroke" that he has seen since G-Mac. I think he is going to be a force. He also said that Lydon was all over the ball, and seems to have well developed court sense. I think Cuse is going to sneakily make some waves in the ACC this year. A lot of this hinges, however, on the health of DC2, IMO. Chino still looks very "lost" out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Ugh; didn't realize they would televise it. Must be a free trial. Anyone watch it? I did. Malachi was as advertised. Kid can shoot the rock. Cooney continues to miss shots. Coleman has 2 years of rust to shake off, he'll need tome. Tyler Lydon looked great. Long, athletic big. Boeheim had him at the 5 for stretches and he didn't look out of place...against Lehigh. Roberson was invisible. Joseph looked decent off the bench. Silent G is their steadiest player, not really a surprise. Chino was a beast around the rim really protecting it well. He earned extra minutes. Still lost on offence. This team is going to live and die by the 3. Luckily, they got off to a big lead thanks to Malachi's long distance buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Lydon is going to be lights out before the season ends. Malachai looks like he will also be a stud out there. Silent G is one smooth M-Fer out there, almost Moten-like. Cooney is gonna miss a lot of shots but he will NEVER stop playing as hard as he is humanly capable of. Coleman looks pretty good out there, needs to get his game legs back which will come with time. Roberson needs to step out of the shadows and hopefully Kaleb will also make his presence known. Chino is still learning. I am really excited for this season. Bonaventure was a tough ass team to play. I think they just lost some steam and their players got into foul trouble. Nice to see Bonnies hopefully becoming a relevant team again in the national college basketball landscape, those 70's Cuse vs Bona games were awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to be that such a great shooter struggles so often. Maybe to your point-- he is not getting enough good looks in a stagnant offense. Based on his entire career, I have a hard time calling Cooney a "great shooter". He's had some good games but he is the definition of a streak shooter. Not very consistent but he can drop 6-7 in a game on ya. Just don't ask him to do it in every game, or two games in a row or with any consistency what so ever.

bbb Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 My first time at a computer since being at the game.........Unreal how many Bona fans were there. I believe we are the smallest school in Division 1, but man do we love our school. I never felt we had it, but damn it was looking good. Dion Wright is so solid for us, but nothing would go in for him.......And, Posley was way off again...........Those are our two seniors, who were the leading scorers last year. I really wish they would play every year, even though Boeheim always says the RC is the hardest place he's ever had to play. If we played our "home game" in Rochester, it would be perfect!

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I finally was able to see the game. Agree with all your comments. One other thing-- cooney needs to just be a set shooter. He is a very good shooter when he can just catch and shoot. Anything off the dribble is garbage-- he is way off balance. Lydons is good, but it will take him a while to learn the defense. Noticed he had several major defensive lapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemhoff Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I love our annual little SU thread. I think that this year is going to be rough on the Cuse. I love the frosh, and think that they will be great by the end of the year. BUT, we have to get some sort of an inside presence, particularly scoring. Without some kind of threat on the inside we will struggle when we hit the ACC. The Atlantis tourney should be interesting to really get a feel for the team.

Anyone watch it?Yeah Elon was nailing 3s left and right and silent G sat the final 13 minutes of the first half due to foul trouble. The freshman class is carrying this team although I will point out this was probably Roberson's best game at CUSE. Cooney might have played his worst game yet. It's tough to watch.

I expect that JB will win his appeal and get a random reduction from 9 games to 7, or some nonsense like that. By the way, nice win today.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Lydon is an absolute stud. Malachi had an off game, I thought, but still hit some very big shots. DC2 looked the best I have seen him yet this year. No showing much offense, but playing pretty good defense and solid on the boards. This team is going to make some noise this year. I can't imagine (if he stays) Lydon next to Chukwu next season. Also, with incoming freshmen Tyus Battle and Matt Moyer...and very likely 4 star PF Taurean Thompson...very bright future for Syracuse.

Lydon is exactly the kind of player who should stay 4 years. In many respects, he could have the same trajectory as a frank kaminski. He is also 6'8" and 210 pounds. He puts on like 30 pounds of muscle and develops a post game and dribble drive a bit and he will be a player of the year type guy as a senior. But I'm biased!!
