The pollsters weren’t in a holiday mood this Monday, knocking SU well out of striking range of the top 10 in both polls, despite our seemingly momentous victory in Memphis. So much for the concept of ‘what have you done for me lately.’ I would have thought the win over the Tigers would weigh more [...]

That’s good enough for me.
For some reason I didn’t notice this until starting to think about the Coppin State game. If you exclude Memphis (since they are not a cupcake), look at the December nonconference schedule that the athletic department got together:
Colgate
Cornell
Cleveland St.
Canisius
Coppin St.
Cal State - Long Beach (their official name!)
Sure some of these teams [...]

The big story for me coming out of the Canisius game (which SU won, 82-60) is Boeheim’s decision to start Rick Jackson at the 4 in the second half. I’m not sure what sparked the move — Kristof wasn’t playing any worse than normal, and in fact was pretty active on the boards and avoided [...]

Matt Gorman is completely freaking terrible, I want to make this absolutely clear. There’s been a quiet trend in my crew to frame Matt Gorman as a potential ’spark’ on this team. Some of the guys secretly think he should be getting more PT because they like his effort and his offensive potential. [...]

Game stories:
From the Buffalo News
From the Niagara Gazette
From the Canisius athletics web site
Poke around the Buffalo & Niagara sites; there are several auxiliary stories, mostly about local boy Paul Harris.

I agree with basically everything that El Syracusan said in the last post. I’m baffled (and troubled) by the team’s inability to run any sort of consistent half-court offense. Other than a few drive-and-dish possessions that resulted in open shots from 3 (only some of which went in), the half-court production was pretty moribund. The [...]

At first I was excited to see that the Met’s channel, SNY, was finally contributing something positive to society by televising tonight’s SU game vs. Canisius. But given the competitive product put out on the floor by my guys tonight, I think I’d be a happier person not to have witnessed it. Though Syracuse “won” [...]
