The Poojer Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 that kind of performance could cause problems for a lot of teams in the ACC tourney as well as the NCAA if they can make it in. Really loving Jesse Edwards' play the past couple games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I do enjoy Jim’s hand being forced to play Edward’s and Braswell a lot more than he wants to. It turns out they aren’t so bad. Maybe extend the bench longer than 1 or 2 players once in a while Jim. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't necessarily think boeheim lost it, they may well have not been ready in November... Practicing against SU quality guys day in and day out can improve you to get ready for game speed...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Amazing how good this team looks when they get a guy or two hot from the field. Really opens everything else up. also, how about that Marek dunk?! UVA is going to be brutal, as always. I am not sure what the answer is. It is going to be a grind on offense; they just need to make sure the defense can clamp down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marek is going down as one of my favorite players in su history Go back 3 years on this thread and some people were saying he wasn't worthy of playing at Syracuse His versatility , passing and ball handling for a guy of his size makes him so valuable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to see him develop so well offensively. I can see him developing a decent 3 game when he plays overseas. Absolutely. He can probably shoot it decent already.. he does have a nice shooting stroke for a big man But he's so selfless that he knows it's not the best shot for the team and when Syracuse spaces the floor and he has the ball at the top of the three-point line, he's amazing at getting to the hoop and finishing , drawing a foul, or dishing to the open guy Edited March 11, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think Onuaku was the last big we had that had good hands, maybe Christmas? EIther way the rest seem to have ping pong paddles for hands. As for the Dolezaj stuff a couple posts above, I loved that dude since his Freshman year. He seemed to have the basketball IQ to make plays, just needed to clean up the fouls and improve his shot some. Liked him even more after he took that Zion charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy drives me insane. Played like garbage on D and on the boards in his limited minutes today. That horrible turnover at the end may have cemented his spot in the JB dog house if we make the tourney. I love the way this team fought today. I think we make it as a play-in team, and I think we deserve to. Could definitely surprise some teams too.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Right now, according to the “experts,” we’re last 4 in. That VCU loss might have moved us into a bye as they were right in front of us. Need Cinci to lose here and they are getting destroyed by Houston. My prediction...we miraculously avoid the play-in and are a 12 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having to do the play-in and then getting an unfamiliar opponent, as you mentioned. Looking ahead too, it’s an entirely winnable bracket.

transplantbillsfan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 What I love is that there's only one other ACC team in our bracket. Familiarity has never been Syracuse's friend in the tournament. Anyone know what time the game is on Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
