[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 866975, member: 253"] As many of you have observed, this was a really good game. I thought the refs were (as expected) really bad, particularly in the first half. As I noted above, the first foul on Syracuse came 14 minutes into the game. -With the short turnaround and well-documented travel issues, I was really proud of how the team responded and they came out of the gate really strong. -Howard's monster game has some to do with the zone and poor big men of Syracuse, but he has really turned it up a notch. I thought this was by far his best game...defensively. He was all over the place--aggressive on helping and switching, positioning well, even blocking 2 shots (he only had 6 in ACC play before this game). When he plays like this on both ends, it really changes the dynamic of our team. -I thought we had a really good plan of attack against the zone. Sometimes, we took a little long passing around the perimeter, but in general, we got the ball inside (34 points in the paint) and took good shots. We did have some dumb TOs and I wish we had put Sturdy in the middle more--he loves that elbow shot. -Jalon Moore is starting to eat into Usher and Khalid's minutes, and he is playing well (+8 on the court). If he didn't have two seniors in front of him, he would likely be playing 25+ minutes a game. He's got athleticism, good touch on his shots, and plays hard. He's going to be a good one. -Kelly, Coleman, and Sturdivant all hit big shots. We needed them all. -Like many gave said, we had our chances to win it in the end. On the road in the ACC playing our 2nd game in 3 days, I think that is all you can ask. It's a shame we missed our shots. They were good looks, but maybe rushed. No time to cry, on to the next one. I'll keep cheering, win or lose. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
