That is text book on how not to shoot...Thankfully UC's defense is usually good and has kept them in this game so far. I cannot believe just how bad this offense is with three four year guys in the back court.

You have to give the other team credit. Syracuse zone defense has something to do with the offense, it has won over 900 games for Boeheim.
 
if we are going to win its going to be because of titus rubles, he has to drive to the lane and make shots and pass out to the perimeter, he's the only one that can do it, no one else can drive into the zone and be productive doing it
 
Good D (aside from Mbodj not doing anything on that dunk...step up and take a charge you pansy). Decent rebounding (I think Kilpatrick has like 6-7 boards).

Rubles finally showed some desire to get into the lane at the end of the half. That's our only shot. Parker needs to get in there as well. Shaq's confidendence seems low and I'm not sure he can be a playmaker today.

Why are we passing up 2 foot shots? Nyarsuk had 3 of them where he either weakly put it up and got swatted or chose not to take a 2 footer. You have gotta put it up strong and either get fouled or put it in. Rubles passed up a couple of two footers as well and I love Cash but what the hell was that 2 on 1 fast break, pulling up from 3 crap.

If we don't hit our outside shots better AND attack the middle of that zone more, we are in trouble.

Also, not sure why we're not revesing the ball more. A lot of passing it back and forth between the elbows. Get it down to the wing quickly, reverse the ball and drive toward the hoop.

I was going to say mobdj got posterized but he is so horrible he just ducked out of the way on that dunk.

What good is being tall when you are so freaking soft? How many times has he gotten dunked on by someone 6 inches shorter than him?

Half time reported uc has worst field goal pct in big east at 33 percent... Today they are at 20... Better hope the d holds up all year.

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me at all. Eventually Cronin is going to have to rethink what he wants to do on offense. The offensive talent on this team is better than what they put on the court.

Syracuse is very good and has long, athletic players but we've not been close in putting our best foot forward on offense. Need to modify the gameplan at halftime. D and rebounding are very good and keeping us in the game.

that stat was vs zone defense.

lucky to be down 4, but the only positive is cuse was rebounding around 43 percent of their misses coming into today, and Uc held them to 3 offensive rebounds of their 16 misses.

Last time I checked wins and losses were all that mattered at the end of the day. Maybe there is a new rule that if you shoot over 50% from the floor for a season you get an automatic berth in the NCAA Tourney? If so, I haven't heard about it yet.
