LB3 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Damn. What a horrible ending. Awful charge call. Lot of bad calls both ways all game. Refs took the game away from Cuse at the end. Stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P5, Big East, American, and then A-10....................I'm not sure who goes ahead of them, but this year is definitely not good. I just hope it's good for a 2nd bid, in case Bonas needs it. We usually get three, and as much as 5. But, definitely not this year. Nice win, Dude. You beat us like a rented mule.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have very little to say about that game other than congrats to the Bonna fans. They deserved the win. Yes, the officiating was terrible both ways, but Bonna was the better team overall. So frustrating watching Frank Howard run this offense. I long for the days of Jalen Carey. Also, Tyus Battle needs to take over games. His shooting was awful tonight. Brissett needs to get more opportunities, and Dolezaj is a straight maniac on the offensive glass. Fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 This sucks mainly because the Bona coach is a Pats fan and appears to be a giant douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 UB hung with TA&M for most of the game but got dusted at the end. The Bulls look good, and Wes Clark, that Missouri transfer, looks legit. But they fell short against every high major they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Bit of a struggle early against EMU. I think we will see more teams zone us, until we can make some 3’s. Scary news about possibly medical redshirting Sidibe. We will be dead going into the ACC with only 1 center on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Cherry on top of a great day is Syracuse just crushing VT. Great defensive play and some nice stretches of offense, especially by brissett. Moyer played with a lot of energy; still raw but he may end up being a really solid player for us over time.

But hopefully that comes with time. the one guy tonight who was a disappointment was Chuku. 0 points; 1 shot.

Yea chukwu is the worst dunker I've ever seen from a 7'2 tall player lol but he did have a few eye surgeries and is still getting his feet wet in D1 ball. He didn't play much before transferring to SU hopefully the NCAA accepts his medical redshirt so then he's only a RS sophomore as for moyer I can see him hopefully getting a mid range jumper by his JR year hopefully. He is a great slasher / jumper so I don't see backing down that much tho.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sloppy game with loads of turnovers. Howard does something awesome, and then 3 seconds later I’m saying “what the f$&@ was that?!” We absolutely need Battle to score to win these ACC games. He was not good last night. What’s up with Sidibe? He plays for 2 minutes, looks decent out there, and then sits for the rest of the game. No longer eligible for medical redshirt is my understanding.
