This team will 🕺 💃 this year…

Tovarest White says:

Judah was unstoppable… I agree…

Eric Ryan says:

When has Judah driven and kicked to the wing? When? It hasn’t happened all year. He makes his mind up, puts his head down and goes. Half the time it works, half the time it hurts us. I wish he would demonstrate a common PG practice – driving and kicking.

Teeman44 says:

Such a heartbreaking loss:(. So tired of these close losses. UNC, Pitt, Miami, STJ, and Bryant… At some point, we need to win these games… I agree with Owen. They have nothing planned for last shot other than let Judah go… With better coaching, this team would be 15-6 or 16-5… Regardless this team is a NIT team at best.

gabriel wendell says:

we are now 3-3 on this big 8 game Strech we absolutely ned to win of the next two @VT home against, Virgina

gabriel wendell says:

stills thats 3 times Judah has had the chance to win the game and didnt I have to agree with Owen V. on this. Bad break on the throw in from JG in the last few seconds.

michaelantonio says:

I'm SICK of these officials determining the outcome of the game. First, they stole an AND1 from Judah, then the whole nonsense in the Final minute.
& I don't want to hear that they made mistakes as well, they didn't make enough mistakes to lose., the refs STOLE THIS GAME from them. UNC is a bully they allow to do these things.

joe filipelli says:

A jim boeheim coached team in today's modern game will be a perennial bubble team at best… his style and philosophy are outdated and not suited for how teams are constructed now and his hero ball offense minus the hero will only win you a handful of games anymore… thanks for everything Jimmy but it's time, past time actually

joe filipelli says:

I don't think we've ever seen a Syracuse team struggle so much in the first 5 minutes and last 5 minutes of every single game.. it's mind numbing at this point

Tom's Model Barnyard says:

At this point an NIT is the best this team can hope for… As last season showed if one major player gets injured we'll be an under .500 team with zero chance of any post season tourney beyond the ACC.. PAGING JOHN CALIPARI AGAIN!!

Tom's Model Barnyard says:

We're a year away… I think it will be some time until Judah to recover from this one because he probably feels bad for elbowing and injuring that Carolina player… PAGING JOHN CALIPARI!!

Mike Gross says:

Looking back, there is only 1 transfer that seems to kind of have bitten us as far as doing far better elsewhere than with us–BJ Johnson. The other transfer players seemingly never amounted to much. Bell and Williams both seem like potential transfers. I would put them both in the BJJ class of player, and really would hate to lose either….i can see both leaving all the same. I wish Boeheim would take it a little easier with the public ripping of players generally…..it's not a good look.

joe filipelli says:

I'm not impressed with Judah at all.. for all the talent he has he just can't shake that hero ball mentality at end of games… he has no jump shot, plays wreckless and is now costing su valuable games at the end… his upside is starting to be outweighed by the downside… the "he's just a freshman" doesn't cut it anymore, we're 20 games in now… and just like every other boeheim team, this team has a very low basketball IQ

tim smith says:

Should never give another team more free throws then the home team that's unfair

tim smith says:

Those damn officials mess us up last night that call at the end took out of it that should've been a blocking foul

Rod says:

FT: 23-3 unfair

Daniel Finn says:

The refs completely screwed him. That was a legal basketball ball move

Rod says:

Closer than I expected it to be but unfortunately there are no awards for close. There were the usual mistakes down the stretch that ruined an otherwise valiant effort. Syracuse rebounded much better but gave up a few crucial offensive rebounds in the end (the missed FT one was a dagger).

Daniel Finn says:

Agree with Matt on Judah

Glen Enthusiast says:

Bad take by Owen at the beginning. Great players, make great plays, put the ball in your best players hands and let him make a play. Miami, he got stripped but it was all arm contact with a no call, today it’s UNC and we know it wasn’t a good officiated game

Harrison Barnhart says:

They got robbed last night
