Anyone
got a link online for this one? No ESPN360 today I see.
I'm screwed by Cablevision again
Anyone find it on justin.tv?
by DomeSweetDome44 on Feb 23, 2010 7:01 PM EST reply actions
check justin.tv
let me know if you cant find it, i will get it if u cant… link is also available (most likely) on channelsurfing.net, at least it usually is.
Got it
go to channelsurfing.net. There’s a Cuse link. Crappy video though.
I know
I might have to watch it when I get home and bounce out of here early
Thank god the Hopkins game finished on time
Because if there’s one thing I’d like to go back in time to do, I’d prevent ESPN from signing a deal with Johns Hopkins to air all their games. Fuck that. Can’t wait to see their women get killed by Princeton (my adopted women’s team outside Cuse, hooray being friends with benefits with one of their players) this weekend and hopefully their men lose a stinker to Siena.
and by friends with benefits
I mean the benefits are being valentines with her every year. So more so a good friend than that hah
phew, I was wondering where this game thread was
I was going to create a fan shot. I was in the process of finding an appropriate picture. Here’s what I came up with:
See, because the game is both a black out & Lady Gaga night.
Syracuse players have a lot of length.
did you ever think a Greg Robinson coached team
would be accused of practicing too much?
Syracuse players have a lot of length.
REMINDER: ESPN360 has the Game of the Millenium
Rutgers v. Seton Hall, of course.
How is that game not on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN U, ABC, CBS, NBC and Telemundo??

+1 That's an awesome comment!
Apparently if the Over/Under goes +150 there’s some sort of awesome incentive for PC fans. I can’t quite remember what it was the guys next to me were saying, maybe Ronzio Pizza? There was some awesome and comparable offer.

1500 people on the syracuse.com message board
probably think we should switch to M2M right now after those 3s
Syracuse players have a lot of length.
We should! Boeheim is a fool.
Also we should put in mookie to match their threes and Reese to inspire air-fucking and towel spanking from the bench
Why do commentators have so much trouble telling AO and Jackson apart
AO always wears a headband
that's 3 out of a possible 3 points.

And it took me 3 minutes of the game to realize Providence is wearing black instead of white. You know you have a bland color scheme when…
I swear to Gord

but there were
at least 3 lady gaga heads in the student section… and awkwardly a snooki and kim kardashian head too.
Providence
is already shooting 3s instead of having any kind of offense. Let’s hope they don’t make 15 of them.
I think providence has confused Lady Gaga Night...

Excuse me, Andy.
But you’re not in the NBA yet. So stop shooting from so far out.

i dont know who said it earlier, but its just obnoxious, you just shouldnt be able to shoot 3s that well

Providence wants this one. This is going to be a long rest of the game.

"I Don't Care if your Family Sells Gasoline, Catch the goddamn ball'
AHHH
Kris Joseph-32
Wes Johnson-4
AO-21
Rick Jackson-00
Can we start pressing them please?
And not wait until they pull away?
i was asking for it
5 minutes ago.
"I Don't Care if your Family Sells Gasoline, Catch the goddamn ball'
if you press
they’ll get wide open looks for 3. No need to panic right now. Just stop playing the guy at the foul line since he won’t shoot anyway.
RJ has trouble catching the ball
It’s like one of his hands is on backwards. For every 10 potential rebounds in his hands… he catches 6, misses 2, and loses 2. So close, but so far.
for some reason though
I swear it seems andy cant make those shots
buuut of course
he makes contested nba-range 3s
Nice hit to end the half.
Garbage defense. Total garbage. GET OUT ON THE SHOOTERS! Who cares if you give up layups to their junk forwards? Their forwards will probably shoot layups worse than they are shooting 3PTers.
Andy
his defense has been pretty bad. After the 5th made 3 you have to take that shot away.
im not sure what is being shut down here in this game
but it is certainly not providence
I'm pretty sure
Coach Murphy is going to be doing a rendition at the half to motivate.

This game
looks a lot like this one
Providence made 10 3-pointers. The high vs. Syracuse this season is 13 by Cornell. IN A GAME!
Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician - The Syracuse blog that cares.
The only remedy for this type of unreal 3 shooting is man D and work them like a glove
but we know how good we are at that
You, move to man D, frustrate them behind the arc or get them off rhythym and then return to zone
I’m not advocating a complete full game switch. Just the ability to change the pace and look they are getting.
This is obviously a good idea.
I mean, Providence is no LeMoyne.
Same old same old
Wes and Kris are electrifying… but they get into funks where they simply refuse to pass.
We got out to the lead because we were making the extra pass, rebounding well, and getting/making close shots.
BIG MEN… STOP TIPPING THE BALL… THIS IS NOT VOLLEYBALL… YOU ARE TALL… JUMP AND CATCH IT.
Wes is not having one of his better games defensively.
As for the 3’s… let them keep shooting them. If they make 20+, they deserve to win. You could put ANY TEAM against ANY TEAM and 20+ three pointers will be the difference. That is the biggest risk of the Big Dance.
Wes isn't jumping at shooters in the corner
He’s not getting out on shooters. Does he think they are going to pump fake and drive past him? I’m pretty sure they’re totally committed to shooting every single time. And if they do go by…well, that’s where help defense comes into play. But it’s better than just letting them have open shots.
I can live with missed good shots
I can’t live with the Donte-esque game.
We've proven this year that our D is so good you can only win by chucking 3s and getting lucky.
If its that game, so be it.
I just REALLY want that one seed.

Dear NBC
Enough with the god damn figure skating in primetime. There’s so many more events that are better and are running live.
The other fact is NBC proper will never show a prolonged event to its entirety
They like the hodge podge.
A skating session only takes 20 real time minutes followed by resurfacing, so they can break to tape delays of skiing.
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Figure skating is live.
You know its the main event, always has been.
I grew up with 3 sisters and a mother. So I forced to watch and learn to appreciate it.
That said, I can’t watch more than 5 routines.

Also, Providence has stopped moving without the ball. (Friar) Tuckered themselves out. Heh…heh…

Now everyone was saying last week that the G-town win clinched a double bye, when in reality it clinched a 1st Round bye (which is the Tuesday game.) Does a win tonight actually truly clinch the double bye?
Actually, looking at teh standings, we are 3 games up on L-Ville with 4 to go for both, so we would need L-Ville to lose and us to win tonight to get the 2X bye.

yeah
for cuse at least, its Gerry with 9 vs BYU and Andy with 9 last year
so they talk & overrule to give provi the ball twice

by Matthew Ventolo on Feb 23, 2010 9:32 PM EST up reply actions
I have a degree from 'Nova
Went there for a year of graduate school after I graduated from Syracuse.
Anyways, I got an invitation to a “watch party” for the game on Saturday through the alumni association. Wonder what would happen if I showed up wearing orange…
Great finish!!!
RJ dunking with authority multiple times!!! With AO and RJ, unless a team has a few big men, they should get 40 a game. We are so much better when we have an inside presence.
Meanwhile… Rautins did great (duh). Scoop and Triche also did a good job.
Wes’s defensive intensity helped set the tone and turned the tide.
If this team plays a Big 10 style game—focused on defense, rebounding, passing, and pounding the ball inside for easy shots (and converting them)—we are simply outstanding. When we get one-dimensional—relying on shots or relying on erratic drives—we are just barely beating teams. Hopefully, that wisdom kicked in tonight.
Great job, Cuse!!!
This sound stupid
Kind of like… if we play good offense, good defense, and have good special teams, we will win.
But look at the assists.. for the first time in many games we were making that extra pass. That is two good plays… one… not taking a bad shot… and… two… getting a better shot. A dunk is better than a contested 6-footer.
We had 23 assists tonight. Go back and find the last game that we had 20+ assists. I gave up after several games. We averaged about 15 the past 4 games. That’s the difference between streaking in December and sliding by in February.
I like KJ. But we are at our best when he is not the focus of our offense. It’s got to be equal doses of the big men and the perimeter guys.
KJ
It just looks like he is only focused on driving to the basket —> because Boeheim told him to stop shooting threes and get to the basket. Except he isn’t going to be able to get to the basket every drive and sometimes looks slow to make a decision about what to do with the ball. I think its just an issue of experience, comfort and confidence. I expect him to do big things next year. That’s my hot sports take of the morning
Boeheim
Anyone that wants Boeheim to play man or go away from the zone is crazy. The zone adapts to everything. Tonight proved why he is one of the best coaches ever. Providence got about 2 open looks the second half. Amazing coaching job. We all take him for granted.

True story.
Team made the adjustments at the half and came out with intensity.
Case in point....
…and it’s a point we’ll never forget, we lost to frigging LEMOYNE playing man to man. LeMoyne! Methinks Jimmy knows what he’s doing.

because of the fact that he lost blair and fields and is still in the top 25, how bout losing your 3 top scorers and being 26-2! Georgetown bastards
Did you see Pat Forde's article today?
Praised Calipari, but also noted that both prior final fours have been vacated. How is this a coincidence? How many coaches have had ONE final four vacated?
The NCAA is such a joke.
I saw that
it was annoying, because it was ridiculous to see two asterisks there, almost like it was sarcasm, but then he made nothing of it in the article
Which is absurd
Because the guy is as crooked as a politician, but keeps getting hired. Ah, the farce that is the NCAA.
