Buddy has seemed to take a nice step forward in development and Hughes looks real good too. We need to find who we can rely on as a third scorer and we will be fine, and I think we can get that depending on the match up with either dolezaj or girard. Could be Guerrier if they give him the ball more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He essentially came in with 4:00+ left and held his own on defense. He had that one ridiculous turnover, but overall, I think he did okay with both Dolezaj and Sidibe fouled out. He is raw, but I think he will be a good “2-3 zone” center by his late sophomore/Junior season. Hit the weights and eat lots of Varsity pizza, Jesse ?

Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Clemson was on Buddy like white on rice all game long. They were determined that he would not get hot against him. Love this team and how they are getting better, but this late game let-down cycle they are stuck in, when they let teams get back into it with less than 5 mins to go, finally bit them in the ass. If they can correct that, they can play with anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Some random thoughts on some of our players at this point in the season: Girard: Not shooting the 3 ball as well as I had hoped, but his PG abilities are pretty far along for a freshman that was viewed mostly as an undersized SG. The feeling of seeing him at the free throw line is completely unfamiliar to me as a Syracuse fan. Buddy: People were harping on him way too much earlier in the year. Yeah, he's not the most active defender, but he's an amazing shooter, smart player, and has a developing game off the dribble/in the mid-post. Hughes: Obviously just very good. Dolezaj: Remains one of my favorite and simultaneously disappointing players. With a more aggressive personality and perhaps in a different system, he could be one of the focal points of an offense with his savvy moves, great passing for his size, and smart reads. It pops every once in awhile for us, but I can't help but think he may have been better off playing elsewhere. Sidibe: He's definitely improved but remains a weakness more often than not. Guerrier: Painful to watch most of the time offensively, but how can you not love how hard he's playing right now? He flies around the court and makes hustle plays left and right. Can only hope he develops more of an offensive game. Washington: Pretty much the perfect backup PG; just takes care of the ball and makes sure things don't get out of hand. Obviously wish he had more scoring ability in his arsenal, but we can make due with him. Goodine: Has been disappointing relative to what I thought he might provide immediately, but he's shown flashes recently of gaining some confidence. Doesn't seem as lost as some of our other recent guard busts (Carey and Kaleb come to mind). Edwards: I remain low on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 This team needs at least 20 wins, probably 21 wins to make the NCAA tournament... my opinion, of course.

Who sees us making the tourney with our remaining schedule? 10 games left. I can see us winning 6. We can steal another and beat a ranked team and get to 20 wins. If we only get 5 or 6 wins, we'll likely need to win 2-3 games in the ACC tourney to have a chance. The NIT this year wouldn't be terrible either. All the games we can get to gain experience for the run we should be able to make next season is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a win against Duke this Saturday drastically change your perception of our tourney bid chances? I think we can beat them.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Tough loss. Duke just had too much size and we needed to shoot better from 3 to really have a chance. i will say this about the game: 1) Carey is a total punk. Yeah, he will be a good NBA player, but he is even less likable than his father. 2) the officiating was really shoddy. Just way too many missed calls. 3) Cory Alexander is really horrible as an announcer. I almost had to mute it at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 We’ll see if he actually makes it to Syracuse. Sounds like the current belief is One and Done rule remains in place until at least 2023 if not longer. Still a long time for that to change or for him to decide to go somewhere/do something else but obviously a gigantic win if we keep him. Sounding like we’ll have some more commitments to celebrate soon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know things can change, but he sounds like he’s pretty loyal to the ‘Cuse coaching staff. I think there is a chance that he reclassifies to 2021. We’ll see.

We were without our best player and it was really great to see guys like Girard and Guerrier step up. A game like this will go a long way in their development. Win or lose tonight, my view is that we have no chance of making the NCAAs. So just glad to see them play pretty well and young guys having big games.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sad to lose that one today. Great effort by Hughes and his game-tying 3 at the end was so close— in and out, really. what really bothered me was that terrible 4-point play by FSU down the stretch. That was no foul by GJ on that 3. Just total garbage to call that, and it was a key point and big momentum changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
