lol I'm not even mad, what a amazing shot. One of the best plays in Sports this year...

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Yeah for real, that is unbelievable. That's seriously a once-in-a-decade kinda shot.

The replay from the near baseline was cold, they showed Flynn pumping his fist as the ball was in the air cause he assumed the game was going to OT, then the friggen thing drops and his shoulders just slump. Tough loss for the Orange.

Fact is, SU was out hustled tonight. They got out rebounded, had more Turnovers, and played stupid on Defense. SU definatly did not deserve this win tonight, but the past few games they have played they didnt deserve those either.

Come Big East play, they cannot afford to come out flat and play a good second half. They need to start the games better.

And Yes, I did think they were over-rated at #11 right now. Good teams play good both halves, SU is not there yet. I do think they will come out firing at Memphis though, This game should get SU fired up.

Man Oh Man...

First of all, as mad as I was, I couldn't help but give the guy props for the shot. It may be all luck, but it was amazing.

Second of all, what is wrong with these guys in the first half? I've never seen such a great team consistently play such a crappy first half of basketball. Once we get into the BE schedule we absolutely can't play like this, or we'll finish below the predicted 8th ranking.

Oh, and 11th was way to high for us to be rated. It seems we play better when we're lower ranked, or unranked for that matter.

These guys better come out hot if they want to beat Memphis this saturday.

thats what I have been saying, They need to play better First Half Ball. They might be one of the best Second half teams in the nation but that is hardly a good thing when you dont play anything resembling a good first half.

You and Cusefan are right on the money with this team. I laughed when I saw they were ranked 11th. Now, I love SU, grew up in the area and will always support the team, but even I thought that ranking was too high.

They showed why last night.

Consistency has been a big issue with this team going back to last season. Defensively, they are one of the weaker teams SU has had in a long time. They get burned a ton in the 2-3 zone. It used to be a rarity to see SU play man, now, it's almost a necessity.

Hopefully the L will wake them up and they'll play inspired ball against Memphis.

Generally speaking, what the hell happened to Dominic James?

He never developed his game. He gets by on athleticism alone although his block the other night was damn impressive.

He reminds me of a bootleg TJ Ford

UofL will get a good test tonight against Ole Miss. We'll find out how much UofL learned and how much they've matured from that Western KY defeat.

UofL will be a man short tonight, as they'll be without asst coach Steve Masiello who will be away from the team for about a week due to the sudden death of his father.

Also, I can't wait to see if Andy Kennedy attacks an official tonight. Kennedy was arrested for assualting a cab driver this morning.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

UofL got a nice win last night vs Ole Miss. UofL stayed mentally tough most of the game even though they started feeling invincible and taking silly shots and not staying within the offense.

E5 climbed out of his slump and played probably the best all around game I've seen him play in his tenure at UofL. Samuels was frustrated all night, but it was a good learning experience for him.

Can't wait to see how we fare against Minnesota tomorrow afternoon.

West Virginia will have Alex Ruoff back for tomorrow's noon game against Miami (OH) televised on ESPNU. Thank goodness. We need him back!
