I find it hard to pick against a Cuse team just because it lost its final two games to (1) a pumped up Louisville team on Senior Day in the last game at Freedom Hall and (2) a solid Georgetown squad that made it to the Big East Final and had also lost its prior

Here’s a concern for Kindle other than the pubs. I still think he compares well to Anthony Spencer of Dallas….
Texas OLB/DE Sergio Kindle registered an unimpressive 10-yard split at the Combine at 1.65 seconds.

Go west young man. There’s gold in them there hills, which probably sits well with the 12th seeded UTEP Miners.
There’s little resistance in this bracket relative to the other regions and that should sit well with the Syracuse Orangemen. At least it should if the Orange are healthy.
If not, meaning Arinze Onuaku the aircraft

I have to agree with 3_from_the_corner.
I’ve absolutely hated the way we’ve looked against zone defenses. We don’t have anyone that can just kill it from the outside (Hamilton maybe, but he’s on the bench more often than not). Kentucky’s offensive efficiency is about on par with ours, so it could turn into a defensive struggle.

Texas has been the most consistent team in the Big 12. Outside of a terrible game against Oklahoma and a great game against Nebraska, we’ve played about the same, game in and game out. We’re consistently bad away from home, and mediocre against tournament-quality teams (KU, KSU, Baylor). Guess what? There are no home games

Patrick, I think your assessment on Clausen is pretty much on. He won’t be throwing at his pro-day so he may slip a bit as a result. One thing I think he does have going for him that I haven’t heard much mention of is that he is very tough, and extremely competitive.

Good call BateMan, my brackets have been burned by Syracuse before. The abundance of 3 pt. attempts in the tournament makes the 2-3 teams somewhat vulnerable to a hot shooting performance.

Burnett really likes his curveball and throws it a lot. It can be really wicked, and you have to have a good defensive catcher to catch it. So I think Posada calls for more fastballs because he can handle them easier.

What I would like to see: full court pressure the entire game. My OSU friends all say that if we press, we will win by 30.

Taking advantage of OSU’s lack of ballhandlers by trapping every ball screen. Dominating the glass as expected.
On offense, our ball movement is the best it’s been in a good while. Although he didn’t score, Pittman has been active block to block which makes it hard to guard. If he does that against bigger players, it’ll bear fruit.

Barnes needs to throw that 1000 yard stare at someone other than his own players. I keep forgetting we are supposed to have an advantage when our bigs are in.
Trips Right said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
By the way, our high low game only works when we threaten the wings. The only way we do that is to play Brown or Hamilton instead of Mase.
Travis said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
I’ve seen pittman get the ball 4 times…. I would rather them turn the ball over trying to go inside, than just throw up a bad shot with our non-shooting guards

It seems the fanbase is breaking down into the mason/balbay camp and the Hamilton/jcb camp.

CrazyJoeDavola66 said:

You know, I tend to agree with the people who have been put out with Barnes this year, but I’m starting to think that Pittman’s the one responsible for Pittman diving off a cliff.

We’re getting ZERO calls.
Travis said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I know they throw pittman around on the inside and its physical defense… he puts a body on somebody and they call his third foul…
Bartoncreek said:

We are playing Balbay off the ball on O. Interesting. Or just fucking weird. Not sure which.
Travis said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I find it amazing that the guy playing the best offensively has yet to see the court 5 minutes into the 2nd half… i think he is just trying to cool his shot down
Trips Right said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Barton, it’s so he can screen, forcing his man to help.
Art Vandelay said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Why does Barnes not argue calls? Pittman has two players grabbing him and gets called for trying to free himself. GJ gets knocked on his butt trying to get into the lane, and no call. We are getting mauled down low and Barnes sits on his butt.
Sorry for being a broken record…. but he is doing his team a disservice.

barnes is brilliant. they got the fat little white kid in there and guess who barnes leaves in for him to guard. and of course mason can’t even take advantage of that mismatch. i’ll be shocked if mason is still in there after the TO. shocked I tell you.
delta7er said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:26 pm
This team has two players who are not afraid to shoot the ball and can create their own offense and that is Brown and Hamilton. We must be aware of their defensive match ups.
Bartoncreek said:
February 1st, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Yeah, I kind of like the idea of using him as a screener. It at least shows that Barnes is trying something a little different. Give him the role of defensive stopper and let him save some energy playing off the ball on O. Also nice to see Barnes not yanking JH after two misses and he responds with a dunk and a 3.

no.. I just think its crazy that even when he plays good.. you are still talking shit about him….
Believe me you are absolutely right, he needs to play like this the rest of the year, but you gotta start somewhere, and maybe this game, that will get barnes off of his ass… and let him loosen up a bit

Schwetty Balls said:

Very odd playing Balbay at the 3/4 (he was on the block down the stretch as much as he was on the wing). Flashes of the future with Hamilton. Still can’t believe how easy we CAN make it look at times and yet still play so pathetically. Coach, please get off your ass and defend Dex. He’s a complete non-factor against a bunch of midgets because he can’t stay on the court.
Travis said:
February 1st, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I agree 100% with you trips… with sexy in there we need to have jordan, if there is no help from the guards then all they have to do is crash down and pittman, with Jordan he can make them pay for crashing down like he did tonight
java said:

see that, now, Barton. The turnaround was nice, wasn’t it. Hope Hamilton lights it up the rest of the way.
Patrick Bateman said:
February 1st, 2010 at 9:04 pm
What a needed win. Gameballs: 1. JH, he hit a couple of shots early and really got rolling. Carried us offensively for about 10 minutes. 2. Balbay. Give Barnes credit. Moving Balbay to guard Anderson and then really hedging on screens led to frustrating him and was the defensive adjustment of the game. 3. Gary Johnson. Quietly had a very productive game off the bench. We went small in the 2nd half and Gary stepped up with 8 points and 9 rebounds with some active defense.
Good news with FT shooting: We were 86%
Bad news with FT shooting: We only had 7 attempts.
Only 5 TOs tonight. Pretty interesting what happens when you don’t give the ball away. We shot 50% from the field as well. Big win.
Bartoncreek said:
February 1st, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I agree, Trips. If Hamilton starts playing 30 mins. a game, Dex will start looking much better. Still not holding my breath on JH’s playing time. 27 point game or not. Hopefully this game will show Barnes that he can be a difference maker and he just needs to play. You have to live with the defensive lapses and teach. He can’t learn on the bench and you can’t win without him.
delta7er said:
February 1st, 2010 at 9:05 pm
We need Brown and Hamilton to play more minutes. Balbay did exactly what we needed shutdown the other teams best offensive player whether he is a point or some other position. Hopefully Rick will start forcing other teams to make adjustments to our lineups and not the other way around. Jordan playing a true three will only open things up for Dex when he gets back in there as well as James.

JH takes every shot anyway…what’s your point? He’s the type of player that shoots…a lot. When he’s making them, your team wins easy, like tonight. When he’s not making them, let him shoot a few more to see if he can shake it, and then roll someone else out there.
Much needed win tonight.

Trips Right said:
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 am
ballrific, I disagree, the more comfortable Hamilton is, and the more confident he gets in knowing he’s going to get his shots, the better his shot selection will get. Rewatch the game and notice how much better JH’s shot selection was and how much more he deferred once it became apparent that he wasn’t coming out of the ballgame. I typed about it in my post mortem, but to me this was the tell tale sign. If Rick can some how reinforce that JH will get his shots, I think we’ll see a more patient player.
