Need to get Dynes going like his first game against Chicago State .  Not sure how he avoids fouling but he has to play smart on defense.  Really miss Zorgvol but Cris Carroll has been getting a lot of those minutes and has played well.

Nice win especially being down 14 at one point.  Won the rebounding battle after they were getting crushed on the boards in the first half.   Hopefully the guys can pick it up with their 3 point shooting as the season goes.

Like you guys I'm listening to Rob.  It's too bad that's there is no tv coverage and I thought at least the SFA game would be on.espn+.   Guys are making a great run the 2nd half.

How long is IMAN out??

I heard 2nd semester which doesn't give a clear date.  Pretty sure he had a break in one of the bones or a fracture.

Despite how the board feels I don't think Phillips is going anywhere.  His mandate is to kill it in the portal and to not get beat down with attrition with any decent returners.  I'm all in but can't have a 2nd year in a row with this type of results.   Defense has to go up a level which is a no-brainer comment.

Well a small victory for us.  Taking Syracuse into Double ot. Just ran out of gas and bodies.   We actual hit 8 3s and battled them really good.  Just ran out of bodies. Way too many fouls called on both teams.  Next game Monmouth and they are no slouch they have played a brutal.schedule so far.

I think those 3 games down in Texas will give us a good indication of what the team has.  Watched Presbyterian and they were decent haven't seen Monmouth or SF Austin.  Probably no TV coverage except for the Stephen F Austin game.   Would love to be greedy and get a sweep but not sure if that will happen.

Too bad Zorgvol is out.  Would of really helped with Gabe on the bench although Kirkland seem to hold his own.

Not only that he was pushed offensively on the play before that!  should have been an offensive foul!  Instead he gets two free throws!  Poorly officiated game in favor of the Cuse!

He should been hit with a tech for multiple times taunting.

Tough loss and the team will grow from this.  Had a few chances and the refs didn't help although I'm not pinning that on them.  Need better help defense when one guy continued to beat his man off the dribble.  Nice game from Gallette,Farmer,and Harper.  Maxey played well down the stretch.

The refs not helping YSU any.  That last foul called on Dynes when he was pulled down was ridiculous.

!00%.  Dynes got chocked out and they call him for the foul.  BAD!!

Miracle that we're in double ot.  Maxey with two 3 pointers.  Down 8 with a little over a minute with the rally.

Can't make a low throw to Dynes in that situation.  Felt like we had this game about 10 times.

Up 7 at half.  Trying to not get too excited.  Do not expect Syracuse to keep on missing 3s.  Defense especially switching is going to make or break this game.  I was tough on EJ the first two games but he has carried the load the first half.
