Phlegm Alley Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 do you really want them to defend against the 3 more when the opponent shoots 30 of them and doesnt make a third of them, and you maintain a double digit lead? Did you see the end of the 1st half Pooj? Paul Harris was a total liability on defense surrendering two big three pointers due to his breakdowns and getting dunked on to allow ASU to close a 15 point lead down to a 9 point lead to end the half. I actually just did some research and found out that their opponents have shot 28.9% from beyond the arc for the year compared to Syracuse shooting 34.3% for the year. I thought opponents field goal percentage would have been a lot higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well, there was an article where Flynn and Devo said they are both coming back. Our team next year will be loaded if true; and we'll need to dump one scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm ascared to watch the next game. It seems that whenever I watch a full game they lose. I did wake up in time to see the end of the six OT game and they won that so maybe the curse is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 we are so much better than this team, despite how badly we are playing we kept it close and are now even making a run....too big of a hole though rautins and devo should be embarrassed to play as poorly as they have been...no excuse for it... Kristoff must be hurt....he has seen very little since taking his spill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Relative to what I've seen all year I didn't think the officiating was especially bad. There were some phantom "deflections" in the 1st half where OU just threw the ball away, but whatever. We have better shooters and they shot way better. That's single elimination basketball. With the lack of great teams out there I could see that kid carrying them ala Carmello '03. GG 2009, plz come back Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 i really thought the refs let alot go, for both teams...there was just waaaaay too much bumping all over the place and far too few whistles...i fully expected them to change that trend in the second half as refs are wont to do, but they didnt....

The Poojer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 you mean the one that followed Jonny Flynn trying to showboat, but missing...all while injured? that just added insult to injury...and yes griffin does get away with alot, but he is pretty damn talented...and a frigging sophomore to boot well, that sucked.

BuffOrange Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yah I mean I guess I've accepted that college refs suck. Usually it's going to favor one team and it favored the other guys. As long as it's not ridiculously 1sided ala Vermont it's not worth griping about to me; particularly when we don't make a single outside shot when the game was in question.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 1) Didn't it seem weird that every loose ball seemed to go off a Syracuse player out of bounds or into an OU player's hands? 2) AO seemed a step slow today; a lot of balls he fumbled... 3) Overall, this game struck me like the Vermont loss in 2004 in the tourney. I felt then as I do now that we were the better team, but played with such lethargy and gave the game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Devo was a no show last night. Getting breakaway blocked fron behind was a lazy play. He barely put a hand up as the OK guard torched the zone. Add to that his foul on a three pt shot that was never going in. Just a bad night. Basket had a lid on it in first half, add to that every loose ball went to OK. How many times did they put it in as the shot clock expired. Was not SU's night, that said, sometimes Jimmy has to ditch the zone. Stubburn dispite all his success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 they ALL seemed lazy last nite, that what was so damn frustrating...soft passes....ughhhhh.....they could have won that game...i don't want to take ANYTHING away from Blake Griffin, he is a special player, but damn.....and no i think the zone was a necessary thing last nite, man to man would not have helped, at least i don't think Devo was a no show last night.

I can't believe Harris or Devo would be very high picks (maybe I'm mistaken). Flynn needs to see what other Point Guards are coming out, and what the situation looks like, next year. There are a few terrific PGs that might enter the draft. If most of them decide to come out this year, he might be better off waiting. But, I have changed my position from earlier in the year on Flynn. If he wants to come out...he's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn is gonna be a lottery pick, which sucks becuase he is one of my favorite college palyers in a long time. Personally, I'd really like to see what Harris could do on the football field. He has the body to be an insane DE/ TE. And Devo is a legend in his own mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Harris did but he looks like a football player. Even if he had progressed more than as a basketball player (he's been a good role player but not really an elite player), he would struggle to make the NBA because he doesn't have a position. He's way too short to be a forward and doesn't shoot or handle the ball well enough to be a guard. I know how tough it is to make the transition but he just looks like someone who could make the transition. And the talent that has come out of Niagara Falls lately is unbelievable. too bad it is filled with completely insane women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frez Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Inside info............ Syracuse men’s basketball players Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris were told they better move on with their careers because they were not needed back next year by Jim Boeheim. Syracuse has BETTER players that will replace them 2 next year. I doubt either of them will be drafted by any NBA teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syracuse has BETTER players that will replace them 2 next year. I doubt either of them will be drafted by any NBA teams. Cuse has an incoming/returning SG better than Devendorf? I like Rautins, but he's not at all good at creating his own shot, or taking the ball to the hole. I read veiled references to some sort of "mutual agreement" between JB and Harrs/Devo, but it was rather vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I really don't think Eminem and Harris would be missed that much. I don't get the idea that Eminem is a better all-around player than Rautins because he's a better penetrator: Rautins turns the ball over less, defends better, and rebounds better. Johnny come back - that's all I care about. Boeheim seems like the kind of guy that will shy away from high expectations. I prefer Calhoun's "bring it on" attitude. It would be pretty cool to win the Big East reg. season outright imo. We haven't done that since freaking 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
