Having only played 23 minutes all hear, Edwards is showing me something. He is rebounding and holding his own on defense. Needs to finish better.

Syracuse doesn't look confident to me.....
We are young and they are learning a lot today.
Pressure those big me. Into committing fouls and we have a great chance.
McCree didn't arrive until Kyser had already fouled.Quote:

Just our luck. Worst 3-pt shooting team in the nation, which SU is, and they bombing away and hitting today.
Bout to get out of hand.
Their best 3 point shooting game comes against tech of course.

8 points in 10 minutes. Offense stayed in the locker room.
Only one of Cooney's three made 3s has been seriously contested...let him get into a rhythm.Quote:

guards need to make free throws....
43-50 Syracuse 9:06.
Our press is sucking!!
Need to get a foul on that other big man.
Just saw that my phone can't spell.
Syracuse in double bonus the rest of the way.
WOW!
50-54 7:32 2nd
that was exciting.
We are gonna win this!!!
50-54 7:32
Yes
It's amazing the difference with Kyser back in the game. It's lifted everyone's game.
Gotta quit fouling Cooney. He'll kill us at the free throw line.
Crap!! That kid is gonna make enough free throws for both teams. Can we stop fouling him please!!
Or at least get your "money's worth" when fouling Cooney.
Yep...exactly why allowing 2 points and not picking up a cheap 1st half foul is better than having him on the bench for 8 minutes straight in the 2nd half.Quote:

Pass the ball!
seriously? Cooney
Cooney looks like an all conference player today.
Congrats kid, glad we could help!
Gave him a couple of looks early that he buried...he's feeling it now.Quote:

Kyser has 4.
Double dribble may have been a gift
55-61 Syracuse 5:11 on the Edwards bucket.
Defense fell asleep
If Tech does lose this one, the turnovers are the reason...17 today.
Gotta hustle down court, back on D, and surround the rim. Lazy there and it cost us.
We've still got guys trying to dribble the basketball in the middle of a ton of traffic under the basket. I've mentioned this a thousand times. Just turn around and SHOOT!!!
Every ticket to the dance squandered. All that matters now is CUSA tourney.
55-65 at the final media timeout...3:46 left.
With Tech's schedule, that's all that ever mattered...can't get an at-large bid with a 200+ SOS.Quote:

I know it is easy to couch coach, but I would make sense to make about 5-6 quick passes against the zone before the ball hits the floor. That is the only way to loosen it up and create space to operate.
Only 4 key players back from last year shows. We have some growing up to do. I think we will be fine in CUSA, but it would have been nice to have been undefeated coming in to this game.
The announcers said earlier that we've been outrebounded in every game this season. This one is no different.
Syracuse 35 boards - Tech 25
We're a decent team. Not good, not bad. Decent.
Is it just me but it doesn't look like we crash the boards as much as other teams?
I am convinced we are 1 big time rebounder away from trips to the big dance in the past 2 seasons and maybe this season.Quote:

We r getting our butts handed to us on the boards.
He walked!
Well, it's not like the games officials have done us any favors today....Quote:

We just got pushed in the back.....
4.7...checking monitor it will stay Syracuse ball.
69-71 1.8 or slightly more left
should be at least 2.3
2.8 back up...probably a tenth or two more than should have been.
Brilliant in bounds defense!!
69-71 final
A little more mustard on that shot and we win.
Good game.
helluva a ball game. Proud the DAWGS never quit.
So why didn't we out the ball to mid court first, and THEN call our last timeout? We could have in-bounded the ball from mid court with about 2 seconds left and had a better shot chance.
Yep, White drew up a nice play. Just came up short. Although Syracuse isn't as good as past seasons, they are far better than Temple and ULL. Turnovers did us in.Quote:

Turnover and rebounds. But rebounds have been every game. There are times we are in position, but don't actually block out the guy, and they just reach over us. If we put our butt on them, and they reach over, we should get over the back calls.
Hate we couldn't oull
Hate we couldn't pull it out that is!
