PrintSyracuse Orange at Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Jan 21, 2012 6:00 PM EST
Continuing their quest for perfection, the top-ranked Syracuse Orange have come to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a Big East Conference affair from the Joyce Center.
However, they'll have to do it without center Fab Melo, who did not travel with the team over alleged academic issues. Baye Moussa Keita and Rakeem Christmas...you're on.
Notre Dame had won 29 straight in South Bend before suffering a 67-53 setback to UConn last Saturday, and the team then went on the road to battle Rutgers, only to fall to the Scarlet Knights in a 65-58 final on Monday night. As a result, the Fighting Irish are 11-8 on the year and an even 3-3 in conference. It's the third time coach Mike Brey's squad has dropped back-to-back games this season. Notre Dame is 9-24 all-time when taking on the No. 1 team in the nation, but is 6-3 at home.
Syracuse has won the last three meetings with Notre Dame to take a 24-18 lead in the all-time series. The Irish are just 8-19 versus the Orange since joining the Big East back in 1995.
Notre Dame lost leading scorer Tim Abromaitis early this season, and as a result the Irish are averaging 68.9 ppg behind 43.2 percent shooting from the field and 32.2 percent from downtown. UND has performed well at the defensive end, permitting just 64.4 ppg, and both scoring averages have dropped since the start of Big East play, with the team putting up a mere 60.8 ppg while yielding 62.7 ppg. Eric Atkins (13.3 ppg, 3.6 apg), Jerian Grant (12.8 ppg, 4.7 apg) and Jack Cooley (10.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 25 blocks) are Notre Dame's active double-digit scorers, and each also brings more to the table as well. The Irish are being outrebounded (-1.3), but they turn the ball over only 9.9 times per outing. Atkins scored 15 points and Scott Martin added 11 more, but those efforts weren't enough as UND dropped a seven-point decision at Rutgers earlier this week. The Irish shot 44.2 percent from the field, draining seven three-pointers along the way, but the Scarlet Knights claimed a 12-4 edge in second-chance points, and their reserves outscored the visitors by a 24-11 margin.

I bet ESPN..
Already has the headline and picture for Syracuse losing today to post on their site.
Wait,
Florida State mopped the floor with UNC and they aren’t ranked? Man I hope they beat Duke.

The headline would be...
“Not so Fab?” With a picture of Dion looking down with his hands on his hips. The implication would be that Dion is sad…instead it is likely that in context Dion was just admiring his block S socks, like we all do.
After watching WV-Cincy
Both those teams were gassed late in the game. That is one thing SU hasn’t shown, fatigue late. If they can hang around in games, that depth will really pay off. You could tell the big guys did not want to run the floor anymore.
Not to add to anyone's misery, but
Since Cincy lost, our dearly loved brothers from the Federal District are now in 2nd place in the conference.
Go Cuse!

Sitting right behind the ND student section but my section is majority orange.

it’s down to 12. We can climb this
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
A couple of games ago
Fab received a graze of an elbow. Boeheim asked them to check it out. The refs agreed there was no foul. We got charged a TO.
Why did they not get charged a timeout?
just cause the player complained doesn't mean that he "asked for the review"
A player can’t ask for a review. Blame the refs for being influenced if you want, but there is no rule that a player can request a review and cost their team a TO
If a player suggests it and the refs didn't see anything...
I don’t see why they would review it unless they check with the coach to see if he wants to.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying this is how it should be. But we know that CBB officials – particularly the two buffoons we have tonight – make shit up on the fly.
You just KNEW Gottlieb was going to have a big f*cking grin on his face when they went to the studio

ND can't shoot the way they did in the first half...
…can they? At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
We are shooting 28%.
You gotta figure we’re gonna shoot at least 40% for the game. So we are in for some serious adjustment in the 2nd half
Would like to see a three guard lineup with the depleted front court – Go Scoop/Dion/Triche with MCW subbing in. Southerland was shooting well before the fouls – get him back out of there.
i dunno, we're already getting badly outrebounded. Can't let it get worse.
http://cusepulp.blogspot.com/
Good point
Maybe Fair instead then – tremendous rebounder for his size.
that's all well & good on offense
but then we have to stick one of them down low in the zone on D
Shut up brain or I'll stab you with a Q-tip
glad I'm not the only one who just did that
2010 Shut It Down shirt, let’s make this happen
Since nd is so small, wish we ran scoop, dion and triche together...no reason those white boys should out reound kieta and southerland or joseph

we're getting beat up on the glass. Not sure why this would help.
http://cusepulp.blogspot.com/
I actually think Triche is one of our best rebounders
But I’m not advocating this strategy.
we are not Missouri
we do, however have a Hall of Fame coach thinking up strategies in the locker room. No offense, but I’ll side with his.
http://cusepulp.blogspot.com/
Halftime
Well, if the Orange lose, at least it won’t be because Fab isn’t there. Yeah, the rebounding is weak, but not any worse than normal. O-Rebs are equal. A loss will go squarely on hot shooting from ND and putrid shooting by the Orange, and anomaly that any team is susceptible to.
That being said, mathematics says that its unlikely that the Irish finish the game shooting 60% from 3 and the Orange finish 29% from the field overall. So, I’m not as worried as I could (should) be, but still plenty concerned. It had to happen eventually. I was just hoping they’d get a 7th week at #1. I like the whole breaking school records thing.
"If I ain't gonna be part of the greatest, I gotta be the greatest myself." Busta Rhymes
Look for some full court press in the 2nd half
JB seems resigned at the end to force the tempo
That was strange how Cuse panicked in the middle of the half after going down by 10.
If they just run a little offense and stay active on defense ….. it’ll be fine
moo
They got to get turnovers
Or this is over. They cannot score in a halfcourt set and ND is just killing the clock.
ND
is laying out the blueprint of how to beat us.
Part of that blueprint is our starting center being out, but still
It's not a secret how to beat the zone
The blueprint has been out there forever. It’s being able to drill 3’s at a 60% clip that’s the hard part.
not just the 3's
always referring to burn offense, sprinting back on D off turnovers, they are doing everything right.
Still think we can win this though.

This team is really missing the Melo swatter/rebounder down low, and pick and roll alley oop right now.

Shut up brain or I'll stab you with a Q-tip
Uh
The offense only has 31 points in 26 minutes. Think you’re blaming the wrong part of the game.
Hmmm. You let another team shoot 62 percent from three, it doesn't matter how great
your offense is. We have to stop them. Our rotations our awful. They kill us down low 1 on 1, then hit a three on us.
Really?
Cause if Cuse had I don’t know 45 points right now them shooting 62 percent from 3 is mitigated. If Cuse was at their season average for FG percentage they’re down 6 even with ND going nuts. ND is playing so slow that all these 3s aren’t as deadly. It looks so much worse cause Cuse can’t score
Well, maybe this wakes our team up
Yea, Kris, Scoop, Triche, you need to show up. We can’t just cruise without you.

Southerland
is an embarrassing rebounder for someone that long. He has to crunch down on Cooley on every rebound and never does it. Frustrating.
I hope he dies in a fire.

It's definitely sour grapes
But this officiating has been awful. Really awful. I know the studies say refs always favor home teams but this is extreme
Has the officiating ever been this bad??
This is brutal.

This team played dumb and had no put in little effort
Anyone
still think this team doesn’t need a go to guy? These shots down the stretch have been atrocious when they got within shouting distance. No one going to the rim.
Agreed
As always, it’s ESPN’s fault for telling the truth. Everybody was a deer in the headlights down the stretch… Jardine, Triche, Waiters, Joseph. Unreal.

Uh no
Cuse is not going to be ranked below Ohio State. That’s ludicrous.
Kentucky 1
Mizzou 2? With Duke losing I can’t see Cuse falling below 3. I would go KEntucky 1, Cuse 2, Mizzou 3, OSU 4, Kansas 5. Baylor and Duke tumble. Everyone else has at least 2 losses. Cuse has 1 without their center.
Syracuse: 56
Notre Dame: 49
Higgins: 18 and change

I'm amazed they played this bad (RANT)
(this post is only for letting off steam…)
for the deepest team in the nation to be this reliant on one player….
they rebounded like a bunch of pussies – a team this big.. I don’t know if its the 2-3 zone that gets them out of position to rebound, but after playing the zone this long, you’d think they’d figure that out. The only other explanation could be Syracuse rebounded like a unch of pussies and just got slapped around,
and even after all the prayers NND threw up that went in, SU had a chance to win, but for the life of me i don’t get why CJ and Waiters didn’t just keep taking the ball to the basket. They did that and scored and got to the line, stopped the clock put points on the board, did that for two or three positions, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO HUCK UP A FUCKING THREE … 3 OR 4 TIMES IN A ROW.
even after playing like pussies and with all ND’s fucking luck. If they had just played smart on off. i think they could’ve won.
no one showed any leadership – i thought scoop was gonna cry at one point. we don’t need a go to scorer, but we do need someone to help people pull it together. everyone fuckin went in the tank… (end rant)
It's a rant
But it is the truth. For all the babies complaining about the refs, Syracuse had every chance to win tonight. Florida State had bad calls against it down the stretch and won. If you play well, the refs don’t cause you to lose.
This team was terrible at rebounding. The halfcourt offense was abysmal The shot selection was not ideal. There were a number of ridiculous turnovers.
And yet they STILL were within 2 possessions down the stretch. Instead of blaming it on the 4-5 bad calls… blame it on the 9 or 10 blown possessions.
This team has a ton of talent. We’ve had real good teams look bad on the road before. That’s why going on the road is important. You learn about your team under pressure. If it’s hard to hit clutch free throws in the Dome, it’s three times harder on the road.

The shot selection was not ideal...
seriously, i realize i know nothing about basketball, how can’t you see what is working and what is not working, and keep doing stupid, stupid things w/ the ball

They needed an embaressing loss to hopefully it gives them some fire (balls!). (I’m drinking and mad)

Maybe espn putting Nolan Hart in the box score was a sign, this team has no Hart. When people needed to step up they didn’t we played soft, we played like…..georgetown.

not to make excuses,
but how long b/f the game did the team know they were without fab?
he’s a huge part of the team, but w/ the “deepest team in america” i have to think JB can get this team to adapt.
the fact they weren’t ready to play w/out him …kinda irritating
adaptation is one thing
adaptation on the fly is another. If they are to be without Fab for a while, they’ll figure it out.
Gotta believe they knew since mondays game, no one knew til they showed up in notre dame without fab

Dumb plays, Passing when hes open, shooting when he wasnt.
and yet they stll couldve won
if they had succeeded in doing one of maybe 5 things well, rather than failing in every aspect…
still 20-1 not too bad
comeback strong on Monday!!
It's amazing what perception does
If we had won in week three and were now 20-1 it would feel very different today.
I'm sayin'.
We had an off night. Fellas will get it back together and we’ll get another streak going.

Today's game doesn't make me feel better about going into Cincy.
We were without one man, and we played like half the team was there.
Totally calm and I don't give a damn.
The Orange are still a damn good team. I could give a fuck what critics or trolls on message boards say. We’re still elite. We had one bad game without our best low post presence.
A loss is bad, but rather have the L now than in March. We’re still deep. We’re still good. And if you think otherwise, you’re an idiot.
Go Orange!
