just a few comments on a great game with a fantastic ending.
-to beat syracuse during their most recent run is no small feat. boeheim is a hall of fame coach getting his team ready for the big dance. i am impressed.
-i cant say enough about Q. Q under cbg was not a player that i was particularly fond of. always seemed to be in a daze and not playing hard. under cjp he has transformed himself into a good player when he plays his game and he has shown himself to have leadership qualities. kudos to the young man for turning it around. I AM OFFICIALLY ON HIS BANDWAGON NOW.
- it took syracuse 13 minutes from the start of the 2nd half before they scored their 10th point. when we play with intensity and are healthy... we can play with most teams.
- we handled their press better and better as time wore on. that will serve us well on down the road.
- a win tuesday should assure of of a spot in the big dance in my opinion. in the right bracket we could become a cinderalla team.
-what a player lammers is. i dont have enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe how i feel about him as a young man AND as a player. NBA NBA NBA NBA NBA....
-when's the last time we finished at 500 in the conference? when's the last time we had a winning record in the conference? buehler buehler......
-this is happening with a depleted roster.... a first year coach.... and at a point in time when the acc is considered to be THE top confrence.
-after reading a post from ramblin red re cjp
elsewhere i am getting the impression that cjp could be our cpj for basketball as in recruiting players who fit his system. fit his style of play. plan on staying 3-4 years and are high character guys.
******************
i was reading some comments on the game from the ajc and one caught my eye. evidently one of our fans????? thinks that cpj is a snake oil salesman. am i missing something here? i dont get that feeling at all.
go jackets beat nc state
