Gardner on the tip off?
Title: Re: Syracuse game thread
Post by: MUMac on January 07, 2012, 03:08:24 PM
Cuse first possession should have been a TO.  Either jump ball or travel.  Higgins swallows his whistle.  Then on the other end, a really cheap offensive foul call.  MU needs to be aware of the way they call the game.
Title: Re: Syracuse game thread

2 fouls on Gardner.

Like 4 offensive rebounds in one possession

DJO misses dunk

Crowder offensive foul, MU with 4????

5 field goals and 9 turnovers

Oh man....



Oh man......  
Title: Re: Syracuse game thread
Post by: GOLDY on January 07, 2012, 03:28:56 PM
Can't beat the #1 team at their place with turning it over at this rate or missing easy buckets (DJO missed dunk).  Lets just keep driving right into the defenders.
Title: Re: Syracuse game thread
Post by: MerrittsMustache on January 07, 2012, 03:30:26 PM
Does Crowder seem to have no interest in guarding anyone this season?

Two awful charges called on Gardner. I can't believe Melo gets those calls. Must be Carrier Dome magic.

Feels like Cuse should be up by a lot more. Gotta keep battling.

Title: Re: Syracuse game thread
Post by: 77ncaachamps on January 07, 2012, 03:32:34 PM
We're dodging bullets right now. Cuse missing possible transitional points and TOs.

Turning point so far was Vander's pass leading to 5 point swing (we had cut the lead to one) and DJO missing the dunk, which could have swung momentum (luckily they missed their following opportunity).

Melo so far is playing under control. Our guys drive hard to the basket and they're setting up the charges to take them.

We have no offense against good teams. Shot clock violation out of a TO.

We have no offense against good teams. Shot clock violation out of a TO.

But he does something that no one on the team (other than Jae) will do: take it strong AT the D.

The rest, esp. DJO, want it to look "pretty". F- it, cram it down, and get to the line.

Now, making the FTs are another thing for him.

Huge ?s are on this team. Two of them are:
- Where did Junior's offensive confidence go?
- When is Jamil going to play like the AA recruit he was?
- How is this team going to perform next year when Jae and DJO are gone?

What we need to do now is limit the silly fouls.

Putting Cuse in the Bonus will only make an upset harder to do.

DJO is 2 for 10 from field.  He heats up and who knows.

Another Crowder miss 3 and DJO I don't know what, which leads to Cuse 3 and Gardner's 4th.

Those two have to turn it up now.

The Crowder/Triche/Odom exchange was pivotal.

Not only do their big players block our shots but now so does the bottom of the rim.  Who voted for DJO as all conference?  He should watch tape on other teams' stars and see that they actually hit shots and carry their teams.

MU is 1 for 11 from threes.  9%

This half is a little more fun to watch than the first.  They are playing harder and smarter (minus DJO).  Hope he comes out of this funk.

You know I will give them all the credit in the world for this second half comeback, but these misses from 3 are just killing them.  

DJO is 0 for 6 and Crowder is 0 for 4.  Thats 0 for 10.  
Title: Re: Syracuse game thread
Post by: fanofTR on January 07, 2012, 04:54:24 PM
I just cant take watching Vander on the offensive end any more. I would honestly rather see Juan out there just to see what he can bring. He cant be any worse on the offensive end and with his athleticism might bring some of the same defensive intensity

Post by: EnderWiggen on January 07, 2012, 05:26:16 PM
To be honest, I am just glad we didn't embarrass ourselves.  After that first half, I thought it was going to be just embarrassing, but we came back and although we lost, it was competitive.  Anytime we are competitive against the number one team, I think we are doing well.  It sucks because this is following Georgetown, Vandy, and LSU, but still.  We are going to win quite a few more games and we will be ranked again.  

Let's not make a 7-point loss against the number one team in the country a Chicken Little moment.
