How did you all feel about Stewarts extended amount of minutes? He came in and hit a 3, but I didn't really hear from him for the rest of the game. I was surprised he played that much, but it goes to show Lav is so desperate for shooters.
You know you want to just forget about this loss and move on but it is hard because you know now the zone is something we will see not only next Saturday, but for the whole year if we continue to struggle.
A win against cuse would do wonders for this team. First of all it is doable because this is one of the more weak Syracuse teams I think I have seen. Don't have much depth down low much like us. Secondly, beating them would put the confidence level of this team on another level. Harrison has taken losses to Syracuse since he was a freshmen, and a win at their place I feel like would really get the team juiced and ready for conference play. I think we are in a good position going into Saturday. Put Dom in the middle of that zone like you did tonight, lock down Cooney like we were able to do last year, and I think we can another resume booster.
Just think, if we can get into conference play with wins over Minnesota, st Mary's, and Syracuse, with a close loss to Gonzaga, and wins over every cupcake, that's best case scenario and probably puts us in a position where 9-10 conference wins should do it.
