They were the loudest crowd by far since the WVU game last year.<BR/><BR/>As for the game itself, I noticed three things in the second half: 'Cuse came out fired up and we came out flat, our rebounding slid but theirs was vastly improved, and they Hoyas were playing good D in that they were making 'Cuse take outside shots. The problem with that third point is that 'Cuse was actually making most of those outside shots.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035527838103000328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10607226.post-66433276521458380212008-01-22T00:31:00.000-05:002008-01-22T00:31:00.000-05:00It seemed that, once again, we had a big problem w...It seemed that, once again, we had a big problem with rebounding. For example, giving Syracuse a second-shot with about 40 seconds left in regulation was inexcusable. Fortunately, it did not come back to hurt us.<BR/><BR/>I disagree slightly on Roy -- I thought his 13 footer in regulation was a huge basket, putting us up four at that point. And he was in the middle on defense, very active. I just wish he was a little bit better rebounder.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't thrilled with Jesse's long three with the shot clock at 3 in OT, as I think we've settled too much for long range outside shots this year instead of working the offense, but I'll give him a pass because he played so well in tying up the game in regulation.<BR/><BR/>But DaJuan-- I love you, man, but what were you thinking fouling that guy on the three pointer?<BR/><BR/>Overall, we should be happy with the win. But that three at the buzzer almost went in.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17354194937775454932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10607226.post-37555468749109937082008-01-22T00:05:00.000-05:002008-01-22T00:05:00.000-05:00The best team won tonight.

Expectations are causing you to think the Hoyas should win all of the games by 10 or more. In reality, they only need to win. Play better to win yes. Better team loss, I cannot agree with such hateration!Nittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350541387111322058noreply@blogger.com
