Think this team eventually breaks the record for three point attempts in a game. Maybe multiple times.

Free throws?
Needs work.

Nah, just keep making them down the stretch when they are most important, like tonight.

Gosh Fran and Luginbill have to improve. They were 100% unaware when Coleman got the triple double, and Fran actually wondered why everyone cheered. Get into the game fellas and don't be so one-sided! They are obvious Easterners.

Yup.
We won't be that cold that often this year. Not often.

A points-rebounds-assists triple double by a post player at this level... Pretty rare stuff.

Did we have any triple doubles last year?

I wish I had the kind of platform to get Boeheim's attention, because I would have no second thoughts about rubbing this one in.

Just 7 turnovers after 22 last game. Say what you will about the offense for stretches that game, but I will take that improvement.

This game was the ultimate testament to what CoHawk is capable of. If he can do this consistently, sky's the limit.

He starts to give me an impression that he shows up more when it matters. We will see.

From the beginning of the game I thought we were very, very patient at attacking the zone.

FortWayneFan · Nov 29, 2022

And yet… I’m still waiting for the Coleman criticism.

But I loved this win!!! So good. Way to go CH!

I’m guessing this was their apex, being it was against the zone.

Almost to a fault at times. It's good experience early in the season.

Coach says illness going through the team. That explains some of the early struggles. Makes total sense, and something I had not thought about.

One Man Fast Break · Nov 29, 2022

We were quite bad offensively for 30 minutes and won by 29, soo..... my main takeaway is that Syracuse is uhhhh.... quite terrible.

My son-in-law (the Syracuse fan) that gave the 12.5 texted me at halftime and said, "I smell my money"

Hmm. Makes me wonder what his money like.

Benny Williams finishes with six fouls. SIX. In NCAA play. LOL.

We got a triple double, they got a guy with six fouls. Historic nights for both programs.

One Man Fast Break · Nov 29, 2022

In the shocker of the night, Syracuse is 48th in KenPom adjusted offense and 99th in adjusted defense (would have certainly guessed that would have been flipped)

This was a fun game despite the cold shooting especially from the FT line. I wasn't worried. They seemed to be in control the whole time. Co Hawk's triple double was workman-like. RJ making the FTs was very sweet. Defense was pretty solid.

Hahahaha…

How does a person get to a point that you think that’s an acceptable thing to do on the sidelines/national television?

He’s really diggin’ for gold there…
I almost feel like he was thinking of going in for the infamous double nostril pick for a moment there; but then changed his mind at the last second.
