There's really no story to the SU game... oh, except for Donte going John Starks with a 2-15 performance. But though they lost, they played pretty well because of...
-only 8 turnovers
-shot 78% from the line
these stats usually mean wins. Unless you also do this...
-1-8 shooting by Greene behind the 3-pt. line
-37% shooting
-critical mistakes in the final 2 minutes
-0, zero, nada, none, zilch bench points
First, no one is going to beat a top-25 team with 2 guys (Harris and Flynn) scoring 72% of your points. Yes, I like to be exact, and yes, John Wallace called and he thinks that stat is fake, but it's not. Second, there is no reason for Kris O. to foul Craig Austrie (89% FT shooter) with 1:11 left while down by four. It's my personal opinion that if you can't get a stop there, you at least have to foul someone else. Third, not getting the defensive rebound in the final 5 seconds hurt... a lot. But, if you think about it, unless Flynn got said rebound, there's little chance SU gets a quality shot anyways due to the fact they didn't have a timeout, cuz last time I checked, it's not 1984, Pearl Washington wasn't out there, and we weren't playing Boston College. For those of you that don't understand the reference... here in paragraph 3
To make things worse... Duke is up by 9 right now. I fucking hate both these teams, especially because of all the souless, so-called college basketball fans surrounding me in WESTERN NEW YORK that are Duke fans because they hated getting made fun of in high school so they picked the team that won all the time, or that are UNC fans because of Michael Jordan (By the transitive property... ex: They hated getting made fun of in high school so they rooted for the Bulls in the NBA, so they are Jordan fans, making them North Carolina fans... even though they never saw MJ play there).
