3 questions… Vitale and Co. were blabbering so much I didn’t hear what happened twice: 1. When Devonte shot the Tech in the first half…what had happened so that Cuse got the ball? 2. When it appeared we both were in the lane on the Cuse made FT, why did they get the ball? 3. Did anyone else think that Vick turned down too many open shots in the middle of the zone?
Thanks
My answer to two of those: – Yes I thought anyways - -Vick had a lot of open easy looks in the middle , didn’t even look just automatically kicked it out - -and then on the double ft lane violation it goes as a alternate jump ball. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Hawk8086 On the first question, I think that with the rim hang stopping play on the T, it may have gone back to Syracuse on alternate posession (our rebound therefore not counting).
-
Hawks wound up pasting them!!!
-
Another nice stat: No turnovers by our post triple threat in 40 minutes of play. Few chances, but still, exactly what you need!
-
PHOF!

Correct. Technical was for making a play on the ball while hanging on the rim. When it happened no one had possession so they went to the possession arrow.

We end up shooting 49% from the field - -36 % from the 3 which for the way we started out isn’t THAT bad. - - 11-13 from the free throw line - - decent on the boards - -only got out rebounded by 5 on the boards - -going against the tallest team in the Nation not that bad.
I will still say I just think it’s imperative , we have got to get some other big’s on board… - We come up against QUALITY big’s could spell trouble - as much as I like Mitch we all saw what happens when the competition takes a step up. Mitch is a good kid, just his athletic ability against some of these guys just not going to cut it.
We have just got to get Billy back - or De-souse -the foot ball walk on or what have ya. - The perfect scenario would be would be to have all three - that would be one hell of a Christmas present. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Hawk8086 On that rim hang question, we won the opening jump and also had the first possession of the 2nd half. I could not find any other “jump ball” alternating possession possibility in the 1st half play by play, so I think my earlier explanation is likely.
The announcers were pure crap at explaining anything, so I spent a lot of time looking at the ESPN box score during the game to find out who fouls were on, etc.

@jayballer54 Mitch took a step backwards for sure. He just doesn’t seem to be able to play defense without fouling.

ya the poor kid - -he tries just doesn’t have the talent. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

For the 2nd game of 7 Clay out played Mitch IMO. The big first half run started with Clay in and he actually did better guarding Chukwu than Mitch. I wonder what the chances are of De Sousa and or Solinski being better than him?
-
@jayballer54 more awareness than talent, imo
-
@Hawk8086 yes on vick! That’s his shot! At least look like you might take it. I was very aggravated at the announcers. It’s about the game not you guys!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 coach said he was better the second half when he was looking at the basket. This game will be a good teaching tool for the team.
-
Made me mad when dickie v got on dte about celebrating his shot! Just play bb. He went on to shut him up!
That’s coaches job not not his.
-
@jayballer54 Thanks, you former ref. I thought I knew the rules pretty well, but I did not know that one.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree, I love when players show emotion, especially when it’s positive. DTG is having the time of his life out there why not smile or throw up 3 fingers. Don’t get me wrong I think you can cross the line but he’s far from that IMO. Dick would never say such to a Duke player.
-
@mayjay , Bshark. Thanks.
-
@kjayhawks Yes. Clay seems to make the right plays when he gets in. Appears to have a good BB IQ. When he made the quick bounce pass out of the middle…very nice.

Not sure what that emoji means, but I think I agree.

@Hawk8086 good questions and the answer to#3 is yes
-
After listening to coach bahumbug in the post game, why on earth would guys want to play for him? I think he wanted a ksu banner for sticking to a zone cause or cuse we scored below our average.
Even though they still lost
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Which coach? I’m having trouble understanding your post.
-
Boeheim! So whiney! Thinks because his zone held us under our average it was the right thing to do. I’m not a fan.
-
@KUSTEVE sorry, got a lil carried away!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He’s known as the biggest whiner in basketball. Gives us zero credit.

That’s coaches job not not his.You’d think with all his stupid comments where he gets excited he wouldn’t be such a scrooge mcduck over a mild celebration.
