@Syracuse, Wed. Dec. 21, 7pm, YES&RSN/970AM

Our video coordinator (do we have one) should be compiling a montage of the good and bad so that these kids see what happens when they move the ball, let the game come to them and play with intensity.

That said, terrific effort by the entire team and staff. Well done
 
Fire Boeheim! One major factor in tonight's game was we finally showed offensive coaching. As I suggested to use the high post against their zone. Excellent passing and drives off the foul line by Ahmed and Yakwe.
Our rebounding was spread out evenly - 42 from 6 players.
I thought our zone worked in the first half. Got a little nervous wihen Coleman scored three easy layups off Yakwe at the start of second half. Fortunately all their starters were in foul trouble.
Surprised White from Nebraska was a no show, especially after seeing his offensive game in previous games.
Ellison keeps improving with another sound game.
Bashir Ahmed finally playing under control.
, maybe because it was against a zone defense. Hopefully the coaches are getting on his ass and he's learning from his mistakes. Watching films helps.
Owens able to stop some drives with his consistent blocks.
Freudenberg getting more playing time and will get better.
Kudos to our kids and the coaching staff.

I have gone back and forth more times than the SI Ferry on Ellison. Best I can come up with is he is a mistake player that needs minutes for the good to outweigh the bad.

But at least we should see Ellison in our team's future. Most of us, me included, ruled him out with next year's team.
 
I don't recall seeing Mussini play tonight and I did not see him on the bench.

Did I miss something? Did he play? If not, does anyone know why not?


Thanks.

Playing against their zone helped us play under control. More passing, less dribbling led to a team effort.

Like I said the problem is with Simon coming and Lovett and Ponds not sure there will be enough minutes for his good to outweigh the bad.
 
Pleasantly surprised!! Hope this turn us to start playing better.Enjoyable to watch all aspects from coaching to players. When they pass that extra few it opens things up and we have the players who can it the 3s. Still see how a beefy center like coleman can push our big around and score too easy But then again like takwe speed and drives to the rin and finish with a dunk.Next yr we could be scary if brown plays Nice game to all of our players keep it up

You can never have enough guards. Ellison is a swing player and would be useful when we go big with Simon.
 
27 assists, 9 turnovers = usually winning

Coming into this game we averaging 18 assists 14 turnovers in our wins. That trend continues. I also think this (and maybe the Fordham game) was the first game they played a full 40 as a unit.

Maybe we shouldn't be getting ahead of ourselves thinking that Simon will be given more playing time over Ellison. Let's not forget he didn't get much playing time at Arizona.
