I gotta admit
the game thread pics are getting less and less imaginative.
Maybe, something like this…
Just saying…
Go Orange(men)!
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAAA
You lost….That is funny. When was the last time you beat us?

turnovers are the one thing tha will get this team killed today. Pitino will have the press on from the opening tip to get into Brandons head. Hopefully JB and Brandon have a plan to ensure some much needed ball security.

From Mke Waters..
Syracuse players Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine are handing out roses to SU fans! Scoop gave one to Donte Greene, too.
That’s hilarious, Scoop.
Donte Greene
I tweeted whether he would get a warm reception in the Dome. Then while sitting courtside pregame, he checked twitter, saw I mentioned him and retweeted my question. I’d say he cares about his image a bit.

Interesting to hear Jameson, you on press row this game?

He should get a warm reception!
We did get better after he left, how could we not love him.
Go Orange(men)!
Now, everyone remember
if you don’t talk like you have at least 4-5 marbles in your mouth, you just ain’t a louisville fan….errrr, I mean lllvlll fon.
Go Orange(men)!
for some reason
a little nervous about this game. I was feeling the same way before the DePaul game because every kept talking about what a blow-out it would be. Then L’Ville goes and get’s blown out at St. John’s. Bad.
"Send it in Jerome!!!!"
Agreed
We’ve been living on the edge the last few weeks. We’re due for a loss. If Louisville plays to potential, they’ll beat us.
You mean, if they play to their potential, and we play well below ours.
by atomsareenough on Feb 14, 2010 1:02 PM EST up reply actions
Right
If we play like we have the last few games, where we sleep through any part of it and they play like they can. They can be very good.
There has been a lot of sleepwalking lately, but winning in spite of it. I wonder if that’s encouraging bad habits.

How long until we hear the story
about how Boeheim hired Pitino away from his honeymoon or whatever it was..? I’ll say within the first 10 minutes of game time.

3:20 into game, we should be up more than 4-0
Uh oh, we're off to a "fast start"
You know, compared to our normal down 10 points by the 18 minute mark we normally do.

Anyone else watching on espn360? This feed keeps going black and cutting to commercials randomly, wtf.
Not in my experience, it hasn’t. It usually goes transitions to commercial normally during the breaks like any other broadcast.

YES
same with me… Syracuse keeps dropping of the list of games that are live, switching to soccer (not that there’s anything wrong with that" etc.
The only way I’ve fixed it is to keep closing the 360 video window and load the game back up from the 360.com homepage
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing too.

Why can't this team ever put anyone away
I’m glad we are where we are, but a nice no sweat victory would be nice
4 of their 8 shots are 3pters
And we cant buy a 3. There ya go.
I don’t know why we keep shooting threes then, when we have been able to work with impunity near the basket.

UL is toughening up the interior defense
They are looking at AO but can’t get him the ball

thanks andy
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
-Ryohei Tanaka, with AA Bowie
Only averages 3 assists per game
But he also averages more than 2 to a game. Not a good ratio, especially for a PG.
He forces more of the team to handle the ball more than they should. Andy is a better PG.
Go Orange(men)!
I have trouble making shots too
when I get hit in the head while up in the air shooting

ugh
Too much tipping and tapping. We need to grab rebounds with two hands and go up strong.
this reminds me of the pitt game
down year for them, but for some reason they just have our number recently
but god
at least pitt is ranked and isnt coming off a blowout against st johns
This is barely worth watching
both sides are playing like absolute trash
Take out the starters
The team needs a wake up call they’ve been playing so lackluster the last few games
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
wasn't it 22-11?

I love this team
But man…don’t you fee like it’s the worst 24-1 team of all time sometimes?
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
That first half was pathetic
Way to let a shitty team completely control the tempo
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
They are sleepwalking
Louisville is walking to the ball to get offensive rebounds.
Looks like the Pitt game all over again
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Wes needs to stop forcing crappy shots
He’s not good enough to create on his own. He’s just forcing them up there today….
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I like the guy but how is he going to be huge in the NBA...considering this
I think he has NBA bust written all over him, but maybe I just want to see him back next year
Feeding the big guys
Didn’t this work pretty good? I mean, I love the contested jump shots, but maybe we should give this another chance.
Athletic teams
Its looking like athletic squads are going to give this team trouble. They had a hell of a time boxing out Uconn, Louisville and Pitt. None of those teams shoot the 3 well but they hit the glass so thats a problem. The good part is that I would say only Michigan State and Kentucky fit into that formula in the tournament from other conferences.
Michigan State sucks
If Syracuse beat msu by less than 15 points it would be a disappointing performance
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Michigan St.
If they get on a roll, I don’t want to play them. They play tough in every way that we don’t. We would get out-rebounded by 20.
Kris, Wes, Rick, and AO can get rebounds… they don’t dominate on the glass the way that they could.
The point is
That Michigan state pounds the glass. This Cuse team has had a huge problem stoppint that this season. Also Michigan state with a healthy Lucas is final 4 threat. There’s no doubt about that. they lost to Wisconsin (no shame), Illinoiis and Purdue without a healthy Lucas. I wouldn’t write them off.
Should have lost to Michigan
with a healthy Lucas. I stand by my statement
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Cuse
should have lost to Depaul with a healthy everyone. We can play that game with every team.
agree 100%
we owned them so bad in first 3 minutes getting the ball in the paint, there really arent many people in d1 that can stop AO or RJ when the get the ball near the block
C'mon
Pleased to see that RJ can dunk. Nice aggressiveness. Needs to do it more. Also, needs to grab the rebounds. C’mon.
Agree with commenter who said we need to feed it inside more. AO and RJ can dominate.
Wes… just not impressed with his game right now. He has gone from a Carmelo-esque inside-outside offensive game to a Donte-esque jack it up or alley oop offensive game. While both may make it the NBA, we saw what a difference it makes in how far this team will go.
I am always so tough on the big guys, but that is where this team can dominate and win games going away. The perimeter game makes us a good team, the interior presence makes us a great team.
Wes never had a Carmelo type game
Not even close
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Sure did in 2009
Re-watch those games. A lot of inside points.
Carmelo was a creator
Wes isn’t.
Scoring inside isn’t the same as being able to take inside on your own.

Go Orange(men)!
Really
Wes is playing a Mookie-like game right now. Jump shots. Tapping at rebounds. Defensive indifference.
Yeah I know
So get in his head. Scream at him. Wake up! Put in Mookie or dashonte or anyone do something.

Query
Anyone doubt that Sam Rautins could knock the ball out of RJ’s hands?
Seriously, this off season, let’s work on hand strength or something. 5 fucking times a game he loses the ball.
Expected
After the way they’ve played the last few weeks you could see this coming. Other than the last 35 minutes of Georgetown they’ve been really relaxed in long stretches of games. It’s biting them today.
If this was anyone other than Louisville Cuse would be down 15

Howdy freaking ho neighbor!
I think that’s what they say in Canada.
Crowd
L-ville is taking some steam out too by holding the ball for 30 seconds and then jacking up a 3. No flow at all to this one.
about time
"It's not drinking alone if you is on webcam, remember that!"
Push the tempo some more
Quit letting L’ville slow it down….get out and run these clowns out of the Dome
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Scoop's D is pissing me off
great hustle to get that last rebound, but he needs to defend the guy at the FT line. When the entry pass gets into that spot so easily, the whole 2-3 breaks down. He has to stop that entry pass.
Syracuse players have a lot of length
Disagree
Cuse should stop doubling at the foul line. The L-ville player at the foul line isn’t looking to shoot at all. Don’t leave the shooters.
yeah, sorry, i wasn't terribly clear
I meant defending the entry into the FT line when rautins is guarding the guy w/ the ball out top
Syracuse players have a lot of length
Beautiful
The second one because Scoop did not force the ball in for a contested layup.
Teamwork means passing the ball to find the best shot… not taking turns making ill-advised shots.
Great job Scoop and Andy. And great job by Scoop taking the rebound away from someone. Rebounding is about WANTING THE DAMN BALL!!!

hey andy katz, maybe you'll write a column about this
bullshit call for your column.
Wow.....
Remember, what really matters:
1. Get a bye in the 1st rnd of BE tourney
2. Get a No. 1 seed in the dance
This loss SUCKS, but it is not the end of the world.
Go Orange(men)!
I hate Pitino
His players are a bunch of thugs and Samardo Samuels travels EVERY time
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
The 1 seed begins slipping away.....
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Not at all, if one goes 15-3 in BE play you get it. Pitt did it last year! UCONN went 14-2 a few yrs ago and we knocked them out in first rd of BE tourney and they still got a 1 seed (that was 2006)
I happen to think we'll lose to Gtown and Nova, maybe more
and I think Purdue will continue their winning on route to a 1.
I think we’ll end up a 2 seed, which isn’t exactly a bad thing or a disappointment….
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I'd be surprised if Purdue didn't lose a game the rest of the way.
Besides, the difference between the last 1 seed and the first 2 seed is minimal anyways. You’re still going to meet each other in the regional final.
That is a really bad thing
Not because of the two seed because I want to see the Hoya Suxa dance again
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Side Note
I’ve guessed exactly correct on all 3 t-shirt contests and I think I’m going to lose the tiebreaker again
we just helped get another BE team into the tourney
which pisses me off, despite conference pride
I can't believe they just lost to a team that got blown away by St Johns a few days ago
What a pathetic performance all around
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Yeah although
There was that one year we lost to Depaul by 39 then G-Mac led us to the Big East Championship
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
So
What does that have to do with anything?
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I'm saying
You can’t always judge a team based on past performances. Syracuse lost to Depaul by 39, but then went on to beat UConn, Georgetown, and Pitt in the tournament.
So even though Louisville lost by 19, they’re not that bad. Though I wasn’t impressed by them today (at least not as much as the cardinal-fellating Len Elmore)
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Well SU also lost their next game after the DePaul debacle...
Louisville is a very mediocre team, and has no business winning against a team ranked 3rd in the country on the road. But SU played down to them and let L’ville control the game in the 2nd half….
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
They deserved to lose
They’ve been playing like shit for weeks. Time to come back to earth.

Bullshit
ending to that game. But we’ve been playing with fire for weeks. Wes was most definitely fouled on his drive and Higgins is a fucking dick calling an intentional there.
the best basketball (passing, moving, etc) we played was
in the beginning with the starting five… how much of that set of players did we see in the second half?
Ridiculous
Wes gets fouled, we get an intentional foul from the three blind mice, and some classless piece of shit on Louisville goes and puts up a useless dunk with 1 second left. NICE.
This quite possibly the 2nd worst ref job I’ve seen this season.
Not really
Higgins made a bad call. Don’t rely on refs to get you wins. Play smart for 40 minutes.
A few bad calls
How was Louisville in the penalty so early and we couldn’t buy a foul call?
Still SU should not have put themselves in this position.
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
How many inside shots did we even attempt?
Unless Scoop is defending you, you are not going to get fouled on three-point shots very often. The offense needs to revolve around AO and RJ.
Who else, other than Samuels, could do anything inside for L-ville. We had him in foul trouble and let him off the hook. (Pretend I said that Denny Green style).
Nah, we should easily have had six-eight more free throws in the second half.

Well they kept taking jump shots or turning it over
The refs didn’t decide the outcome.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
What else are you supposed to do
when Wes drives to the hoop, and he can’t get the ball up without getting hit?
Well
This team needs to sit down and remember what it takes to play up to your potential. They had it figured out for 20 games… now they are playing at a lower level.
This team will go as far as its biggest three players, physically, will take it.
AO needs to want the ball and get Samuels a 3rd foul in the first half and a 4th foul in the second half.
Wes needs to stop being a 3-pt shooter. He can shoot them. They CANNOT be his preference.
RJ needs to be a power forward/center… not Craig Forth.
Higgins made a bad call on the intentional. But that is life. We could have won this game by 12 by playing better. If we want to have it come down to refs every game… we will win one (UConn) and lose one (L-ville).
can't wait to fuck lville up at msg

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
This fucking taem
Lost to St. John’s by 19 points. You think John Wall would have let that happen?
Time to face the facts. Wes is good, but he’s no Evan Turner or John Wall. You want to blame the “sore hand”?
Evan Turner came back early from a broken back and didn’t miss a beat. The good news is at least Wes will be back next year
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
12 points on 20 shots
I wanted Rautins to take that last shot. Thanks wes
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Wes Johnson isn't a player of their caliber
He’s a very good player, but his abilities have been overrated. He’s an athlete that gets his points in close and is a solid jump shooter. He can’t create his own shot and really struggles with a hand in his face. He forced way too much today and that’s not his game and it’s not what has gotten us where we are at this point.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Wes will be back next year if and only if
we don’t go far. We go far, his stock rises, he’s a lottery pick. We don’t get to at least the Elite Eight, he stays another year.
Pitino is a good coach
He called a TO after Andy’s two threes. Didn’t let the crowd get into it. I wondered if that was wise, but it ended up working.
Triche
I actually thought he was doing a serviceable job. They were up 11 with him in the game. Didn’t they lose most of it with Scoop?
I think Boeheim was sending a message, not playing Jackson or Triche. Showing the team that they aren’t that good.
Thursday
We are gonna rip Georgetown a fourth hole.
And some crazy ass fan might do the same to Higgins tonight.
i'll be at the gtown game...
it could be either a) amazing, b) awful…. this team better show up! gtown is playing good ball, and is tough at home…
we must be out for blood to win that game… and this loss will hopefully motivate them.
They need to make a 180
if they play anywhere close to how they played today, GTown will wipe the floor with them.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Feel bad for Gtown now, I though we would lost there but not going to happen after that loss today. We will come out hard at the MCi, Verizon, (whatever) center.
Depends
If we play like we have played for the last three weeks…. we’ll get beat.
If we play like we just got our fingernails painted, forget it.
The Big East is tough. Not for pansies that want to shoot three-pointers.
We just lost to a team
that shot a shitload of three pointers. They didn’t even make that high of a percentage, they just made enough.

As much as this loss pisses me off
I dont care about our rank or seeding THAT much. Unless we drop 5 games before the end of the regular season, we aren’t dropping below a 2 seed. The rankings have no significance whatsoever in seeding anyways. Even if we drop to a 2 seed, it only hurts us marginally by having to play a 3 as opposed to a 4 in the sweet 16, should we get that far. I’m not necessarily happy about this, but its not the end of the world. Tim Higgins is a dick, though
Completely agree
I’d rather have this game now then in March. And yes, Tim Higgins can burn in hell.

Right...no need to overreact!
I would like to get the regular season title for once, and we it is still fully in our hands. Beat ’Nova and win out, its ours, or just win more than Nova the rest of the way. Either way, the regular season title still isnt a big deal.
we know this team is still capable of great things… one loss does not change that. This team will respond, if we have learned anything over the season.
We've seen total collapses
Let’s not get cocky. We could easily have lost to DePaul and UConn. Who are we going to play down the stretch that is worse than those two teams? DePaul has 1 BE win. UConn has won 1 in 7.
Good thing you don't care about rank
Because with the respect we get, we’ll slide down to #10.
Oh, and screw Tim Higgins.
Here's a thought
Jardine, sat out all last year. Johnson, same thing. Joseph, tiny minutes down the stretch. These guys look fatigued. They are playing serious minutes late into the season after not pushing hard for a whole year. They are not jumping like they used to, and have lost alot of bounce on their drives. I think the guys are getting plain tired.

Might be a good idea
if he could wait 4 second before jacking an ill-advised shot first.
How can we not watch this team—like we do—and realize that shooting is secondary to good shot selection, passing, defense, and rebounding?
We just need a body in there
To give the other guys a rest. Yes I know Mookie has his flaws but a 7 man rotation is not going to cut it
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
seems to cut it
every other season. I’ll defer to Boeheim
See that's the thing
I like Jimmy B, but I feel like a lot of the time, that is our downfall. Short rotation.
Think about the years when G-Mac would have to play 35-40 minutes a night. His shooting suffered toward the end, then he picked it up by the Big East tournament, then tired out in the first tournament game.
In 2003, we were 8 deep weren’t we? Melo, Forth, Edelin, G-Mac, Duany, Pace, Warrick, McNeil.
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
Exactly
An eight man rotation makes so much of a difference over a seven man rotation. And Jones plays decent D, he got a steal in his three minutes of PT. And how was his defense going to be any worse than KJO? He got outrebounded by about twelve today.

Our problem is not being willing and able to shoot from outside
It’s being willing and able to pound it in low. Mookie can’t help us there.
If we had an 8th man, it would ideally be someone who could play PF/C.
Returning the favor in Lville
Since they are pretty much in the tourney now, we can close down Freedom Hall with an asskicking. And they won’t have the NIT to redeem it with a win.
I don't believe in
wake up games.
I believe the college basketball reguar season is grueling, and no conference is moreso than ours. I also believe that we play a defense that is unique and therefore uniquely coachable for the opposition, especially if you play us once, twice, three times a year, year in, year out. What makes the zone so good this year is length and tenacity, but take away the tenacity and we’ll occasionally lose.
This year, unlike most, we haven’t lost a bunch of games where we didn’t bother to play hard, because this team is that athletic/experienced/offensively capable. But, when you have a team that shoots well from three point and we don’t bother to go after their shooters on every play, the team will hang around.
This happens every year, multiple times. Happened today. For only the second time. I think because we play the way we do, we shouldn’t be so concerned about the rankings. I think its apples/oranges for us vs. a UK or KU or even a ’Nova.
That game was very similar to the Pitt game, minus the scoring
Get out to a nice lead early, without playing all that well.
Let them creep back into it and it’s a tight game at the half.
Come out flat in the second, while the opposition starts raining 3’s.
Unable to create offense against a tough defense.
Play weak and lack emotion.
Can’t get the stops you need down the stretch, or the baskets you need.
I hope they learn from this mess. I also hope they never let the tempo be dictated by the opposition again this year. That was brutal.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
The good news
This team can be great again. They need to take a look at how they played in December.
For now, the Purdue guy is right and we were overrated. Top 10 team. Not top 4.
It’s up to the players to decide whether they want to be top 4 again.
You can't be overrated until you lose
When you win 11 in a row, you should be rated as highly as possible. Now we can drop six spots and be “underrated” again.

I dont mind losing once in a while
The Pitt loss was an acceptable loss. We didn’t shoot well, they had a better gameplan, etc.
Today I am kinda angry we lost. There’s no reason that louisville should have won that other than that SU decided not to play today. Triche and Scoop were awful today. Wes was terrible, the rebounding by Kris and Wes was terrible, AO and RJ disappeared. Andy was really the only bright spot today.
I don't see this loss as dropping us out of a 1 seed anyways
at least not at the moment. if we drop gtown, nova, and a bad BET game, then we’re a 2 seed, on par with gtown (ugh). If we win 1 of 2 vs gtown and nova, plus make a solid run in the BET, we’ll still be fine for a 1 seed. I cant see our losses vs. those of Purdue, Duke, or Kansas State coming out in favor of those teams, giving them a better ranking.

same. the wife shant be happy about my mood. That said, I think we all need a few hours to process. I haven’t written this team off by any stretch. We have 2 losses by mid february. We have experience, we have quality players, and we have Boeheim. we have the potential to play better than every other team in the country. We won’t play like that every day, and no other team out there plays at max potential game in/game out either. There is a lot of confidence to be had in CNY, despite a poor home showing.
Clearly, SU deserved to be in the penalty
And Louisville actually only committed two fouls
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
bigger problems
this loss blows, obviously. the bigger issue, though, has been the play the past few weeks. they have had very close calls with depaul and uconn and even with those they still havn’t seemed to be able to right the ship. they continue to show poor effort on the defensive glass allowing too many second chances. neither uconn nor l’ville are good outside shooting teams, but giving them an opportunity to have extra possessions means even shooting 35% will end up hurting you. further, they appear lost offensively. too many guys are settling for 15-22 foot jumpers (wes, scoop, kris, triche) and there is not enough attacking the rim and dishing.
they will likely drop a few spots in the polls, but whatever. i just hope this loss does what the recent narrow victories didn’t: wake this team back up. go back to what worked. defense, rebounding and easy shots.
as soon as i saw the dog on the front page
i had a bad feeling. No more dog picks please.
"It's not drinking alone if you is on webcam, remember that!"
My $0.02
- The refs were donkeys. Where’s the call when Wes was going up (when down 2) and how can you call that a flagrant on KrisJo? Just call the regular foul and don’t effectively end the game with 17.8s left. It’s not like Smith was midair or anything dangerous – it was the weakest flagrant call I’ve ever seen. Leave it to Higgins…
- Why alternate AO and Jackson in the game? Why not put them both in and kill L’ville down low like they did at the beginning of the game? Remember that 22-11 lead? At the very least, it would help with rebounding (hopefully) because Kris wasn’t doing much on the glass. It also put a lot more pressure on Johnson to rebound, so he was cheating down low which left Marra open for all those 3s in the corner.
- Georgetown is currently losing to Rutgers with 7:31 left. The day could be saved yet.
Rutgers is a fine university
They pulled it out against GTown! I feel so much better.
"It's not drinking alone if you is on webcam, remember that!"

Meh, as much as I hate losing,
this is probably the kick in the pants the team needs. Haven’t been playing with any urgency at all as of late. We’ve gotta get urgent to play Georgetown in DC… they’ve been looking crazy good at home.
The team
has been begging somebody to beat them for a while now. Louisville took them up on it. Let’s hope this is the kick in the ass they needed. I’d hate to lose that #1 seed.
Can we let the Higgins call go?
I keep seeing comments bitching about the questionable Higgins call… let’s be above that, as a marginal call helped us win vs. UConn earlier in the week. As I said then, those things typically even out.
