Cornell Big Red (2-1) @ Syracuse Orange (4-0) GameThread
Cornell Big Red at Syracuse Orange, Nov 24, 2009 7:00 PM EST

In a matter of days the Orange have gone from under-the-radar to...over-the-radar? Cornell is the worst kind of opponent right now...a frisky mid-major that can shoot lights out and knows how to play us. Battle stations, everyone.

if you’re way behind on the feed, hit go live by the volume controls to catch up a bit. 360 feed is behind normally, but it seems like it slowly starts lagging more and more unless you resync by hitting go live.

I say the team just holds hands and forms a curve around the 3 point line.
And see what Cornell does. They don’t seem to be able to even score inside the line even when wide open.

"Nice feed inside"
Right, if Wes could jump a foot higher. But at least he got it in the hoop before time expired.

not playing particularly well
but up 6 at the half. i’ll take it.
by MrPlow99 on Nov 24, 2009 7:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
They're zone is playing well, despite the crazy amount of 3s.
And I’m happy with the Cuse offense for the most part.
But Syracuse isn’t getting the rebounds they should and are giving Cornell too many second chances. I think that’s the big difference. We snag a few more of those defensive rebounds and we’re up by 15 right now.

yeah
he doesn’t read much, otherwise he would have known that our players don’t believe they’re on a pedestal right now and they knew exactly what they were in for tonight.
by chicagocuse on Nov 24, 2009 8:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Only thoughts I'll post until the game's over
Live/Die by 3. Cornell hopefully misses a couple more. And then we will have a couple more chances to get the rebounds we should be getting.
Actually, both teams look pretty good. Would hate to play for or against Cornell come tourney time, as a particularly cold/hot game is lurking at any time.

When we have a fast break, I think we should go to the basket.
Not pull up for a 3.

play our game, not theirs. we’re up by at least a couple of threes, pile on the two pointers

Did they just say that Brandon Triche and Jason Hart are cousins?
by voteprime on Nov 24, 2009 8:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
They are
Hart just thinks Triche has what it takes. He should know. He and Triche are cousins. Hart’s mother, whose maiden name is Triche, is the cousin of former SU player Howard Triche, Brandon’s uncle.

The
best thing I saw from him was the possession where he got the ball, then spent 5 seconds looking for someone else to give the ball to.

Manny's Online just started selling SU b-ball replica jerseys
They have eight jersey numbers – Scoop, Wes, Andy, AO, Rick, KrisJo, Triche, and Southerland…
but no jersey for Mookie!
I wonder if that was weighing on his mind tonight.

Boeheim, chanelling his inner Marrone
"I think our guys did a tremendous job tonight, particularly at the start of the second half, adjusting defensively," Boeheim said.
