Up 8 and Vander takes a wide open three and , OH MY GOD, two feet over basket.

Only bad thing though, they are hustling on boards.

Blue, arguably one of the worst shooters on the team, has no business shotting threes.
Title: Re: SU Thread
Post by: CrazyEcho on January 29, 2011, 02:40:02 PM
He was wide open in rhythm . . . He can make that shot. 
Title: Re: SU Thread
Post by: 79Warrior on January 29, 2011, 02:44:55 PM


Really? I think he is very weak offensively.
Title: Re: SU Thread
Post by: CrazyEcho on January 29, 2011, 02:47:30 PM
I agree that he is weak offensively . . . but a wide open in rhythm three is still a shot I'm ok with him taking.

Not me.  He's not a shooter and has to know his role.  Would you want Otule hoisting that up?  I don't care if it was an open look.

His form is way off. He looks like he's pushing the ball from his chest. He shouldn't be taking those shots right now.

definitely a goaltend at the end of the half on Jae. 

Can we finally keep our collective feet on the other team's throat in the second half?
Title: Re: SU Thread
Post by: nyg on January 29, 2011, 02:59:06 PM
Another last possession wasted.  Why throw a pass to Otule, who can't catch the ball?

That non goaltending call was just terrible.  

Could be an additional 4 points.  Great job by MU on boards, shooting and not getting in foul trouble.

SU had Jackson and Jardine on bench, so MU needs to keep it going.

Why didn't Crowder have to take the intentional foul that was on Fab Melo?

Terrible shot by Vander. I know he's good on D but he's so limited on Oz.

De ja friggin vu... We are not playing uptempo.  Playing terrible with this slow pace and we are going to let the other team back in the game.

come on Buzz call a play during time outs. no double screens to free up a shooter or what

just pass the ball on the perimeter until time runs down and throw some desperation up.. I am getting tired of seeing this
Title: Re: SU Thread

Crowder has single handidly saved the momentum  for this team twice with those and 1's

Vander is awful  and i think this is the second game in a row DJO fouls a three point shooter

Up 7 with 10 to go, tied at 8 minute mark.

The BC is like a graveyard.

I thought getting Jr. in was a good move, then he turned it over faster than even VB.

Is it just me, or does Crowder shoot his lay-ups really really hard off the backboard?

Then an Otule miss layup.  

DJO NOW....Buzz

we just wasted 30 seconds passing the ball 4 feet outside the three point line.  Thats not an offense

Finally beat the Orange!  Great win today.

GREAT call by Buzz in that time out.  The top wing had to play DJO close.  His play then isolated the bottom wing defender who had to either pick Otule or Butler.  The defender chose Otule and Butler sank it.

We really need to understand how to run a play or something.  A play should start running at the 15-10 second mark.  I still see guys not moving and dribbling at half court with the clock under 10.  THIS IS NOT GOOD.  We got bailed out today with clutch/lucky shots
Title: Re: SU Thread
Post by: chapman on January 29, 2011, 04:18:36 PM
Finally got the Syracuse and second half collapse monkeys off our back.  Some big shots by Butler and DJO at the end, consistency from Crowder the entire game, and some defensive stops in the second half for a change.

Jimmy F-ing Butler, DJF-ingO, Chris O-F-ingTule, CLUTCH AT THE END.

Jae Crowder, a beast throughout.  

Hot diggity damn.

Yippee...this is outstanding.   ;D

Yeah... that Otule block was as important as DJO's or Butler's shots.  It would be really nice if Otule and Gardner could play 30 minutes minimum every game so we can limit the "small ball" as much as possible (10 min a game max unless matchups dictate otherwise).

Besides the fact MU outrebounded a much larger Syracuse team (holding them 16.5 below their season average) and committed just 13 turnovers and held them to exactly their season average in points, I'd day you were dead on.
Too bad you missed the end of the game. It was fun to watch.
