The Syracuse guys were huge. Watching our guys trying to rebound against them would be like me at 6"0" rebounding against 5th graders. Putting a butt on them would probably be putting a butt on a thigh or even a knee. Even our "big" guys looked small.Quote:

A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Louisiana Tech was trying to do something that had only been done once in the last 55 attempts and that was beat Syracuse in non-conference play on its home court.
More...
Discuss it here.
I couldn't tell who knocked the ball out of bounds before their last possession.
I thought Hamilton should have helped Kyser by disrupting Christmas on their last possession.
I thought we should have advanced the ball to halfcourt and called time-out on our last possession.
I thought Leo Edwards earned a spot in the rotation today.
The ball was definitely out of bounds off Tech before the last possession...it was reviewed by replay also.
Edwards definitely showed me something today. Tech is going to need that extra inside presence or it is going to get pushed around even in conference play.
Attended a family event but from what I saw the Dawgs played a great game.
I wouldn't say we played a great game. I think our ceiling is much higher than how we played this afternoon. We didn't shoot free throws well. Outside of Appleby and Hamilton, our other guys went 0-8 from 3-point range. We had way too many turnovers. We got dominated on the boards again. Yet we somehow only lost by two points. I think that bodes well for the future. If we put it all together, we can be a great team.Quote:

Right. I posted it earlier, but this may be Boeheim's "worst" team in a long time. But I don't think Syracuse played poorly against us. They shot it a lot better against us than they had been shooting.Quote:

We played a better team game for the most part. I think we need to start a collection for Mcree, chip in a dollar for every time he passes and give it to him at end of the season! Haha. Edwards is improving and has earned some more or for sure. The last few years we have played very good 3 pt defense but teams are lighting us up from beyond arc. I think that is due to so many FR playing or trying to play and adjust to real defense. Think they are showing signs all around. I missed the post game interview, what did White say about the game?Quote:

They were playing for pride.Quote:
