The first thing I noticed from the Robert Morris box score was Triche’s 7 assists and Scoop’s 9 (!). Damn impressive at first, but then I spotted Andy Rautins’ line and realized the team had been blessed with one of those Andy Rautins Games. When he gets in that zone, he’s a dream for a [...]
We’re in the freaking finals. This is nuts.
It’s hard to wax as poetic about last night’s game as the hitsorical epic we witnessed on Thursday night. Ho hum, just one overtime. Admit it — in any other setting, as last night’s game went into OT you’d have been completely excited and nervous and tense and [...]

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 [...]

The following acknowledgment in no way reflects the opinion of the majority of the Cuse Country staff (who insist on the self-torture of Met fanhood year after year), but I would like to officially congratulate the Philadelphia Phillies on their rousing championship last night. I was a generally disinterested party in the proceedings, but I’m [...]

But I’m probably going to have to. What the hell, it’ll be entertaining at least.
Something I want everyone to notice is the play of Arinze Onuaku. Specifically, his hands. He has the ability to catch a pass and go up with the shot quickly and fluidly– which has been lacking in SU big men for [...]

As a sports fan generally starved of anything warranting happiness for the last 8 or so months, I naturally take tonight’s poorly executed 97- 89 victory over Siena with unbridled optimism. It comes down to the crucial difference between young players and veterans. If last year’s team had produced the same outcome, I’d feel pretty [...]

Everyone always gives a lot of well deserved lip service to Boeheim as the master of the 2-3 zone, but have you ever heard anyone specifically put Jimmy’s offensive coaching style under the microscope?
What got me thinking about this was seeing the UConn women’s team play following our loss to the Johnnies in the garden. [...]

Because I’m having trouble making sense of this year’s team, and I’m in a foul mood in general following my team’s second straight bocce league loss to start the season, I’m feeling a need to declare a festivus and air my grievances.
I watched bits and pieces of tonight’s UConn loss at the bar during the [...]

After watching Jimmy’s clock management in the final minutes against St John’s and Louisville, I began to wonder if he was throwing games to improve our draft position. Then with the way the team came out against ND, I figured maybe it wasn’t just him, maybe it was everyone. Then I remembered there’s [...]
