Louisville @ Syracuse - Game Thread

[gocards827]

Woohoo!

I think Coach P said on R&R that Mangok will start (?), but I may have heard incorrectly...

 

[yum center]

Every time we play the 'Cuse, it reminds me of the old Big East. It was the best basketball conference of all time. I really miss those epic Big East Tournaments.

 

[HRTheCard]

Really hope Louisville can win this one. BIG game!

 

[earsky]

Mahmoud did not like sitting last game,Q is 100%.

 

[shadow force]

This style of game seems to fit Anas better. He can be a good zone buster, especially if he develops a reliable mid range jumper.

 

[shadow force]

Ugh I hate that goal post camera view. It's annoying. Cuse coming back.

 

[shadow force]

Terrible way to end the half for the Cards. Turnovers and missed free throws. Cuse only down 4 now.

We better figure out a way to slow that Lydon kid down - he's killing us and gaining confidence.

 

[KozmasAgain]

If it wasn't for Lydon we would have a double digit lead. I think Syracuse started playing a little better defense to end the half. Halftime came at a good time for us.

 

[earsky]

The Orangemen ain't goin down easy.The offense has to keep probing for the better look,not necessarily the first one.

 

[nccardfan]

The zone is affecting Mitchell. He's content to jack up shots again. The foul line is the key against Syracuse, just like Lydon is doing to us.

 

[KozmasAgain]

We need to get the defensive rebound and push the ball up court quicker. Don't let Syracuse get their defense set, Ibhaven't notice Syracuse substituting much.

Right.He's very capable of getting into the lane.

 

[earsky]

When you're hot,you're hot.But when you're not shot fake and drive.

 

[BPGhost]

That last play epitomizes Spalding's play the last month. Soft and clueless - I don't get why you would fade away from 3ft - GO TO THE RIM!

 

[nccardfan]

Syracuse bench goes crazy over Mitchell's dunk!

 

[earsky]

Nice shot fake Mango.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Lydon has cooled off but Thompson is heating up. If we keep pushing the ball Ibthink Syracuse will run out of gas.

 

[KozmasAgain]

Did the announcer say that this is Boeheims last year?

 

[nccardfan]

Did the announcer say that this is Boeheims last year?

Wishful thinking? I did not hear him say that.

 

[BPGhost]

Did the announcer say that this is Boeheims last year?

He's coaching next year and then he's done.

 

[BPGhost]

Adel needs to look inside when he gets it into the paint rather than jack up a bad shot.

 

[nccardfan]

Why not press if they are tired? We have a deeper bench if we use it right.

 

[earsky]

And then again,when you're hot,keep shooting.lol

 

[earsky]

Adel needs to look inside when he gets it into the paint rather than jack up a bad shot.

He doesn't have enough confidence dribbling I think,so his eyes are down.

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

officiating in this game has been down right atrocious

 

[earsky]

Gotta recognize that Don Mitchell has taken the game over.

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Gotta recognize that Don Mitchell has taken the game over.

And taken out of the game fouled out

 

[KozmasAgain]

They are going to drive get fouled and win it at the line

 

[REDFISTFURY3]

Lol if it went wrong it went wrong this game sickening loss

 

[earsky]

Yeah,those 5 possessions before that foul when the rest of the guys couldn't figure it out.

 

[KozmasAgain]

What a break

 

[earsky]

Really Q?That was the play?

 

[gocards827]

OT without Donovan!

 

[earsky]

[REDFISTFURY3]
