Syracuse Game — Victory! 70-66

[Chop]

We're up on Cuse 22-10.

Kaluma has a couple of buckets and a couple of boards.

 

[Chop]

Kaluma—Dude’s got some moooooooves.

 

[Chop]

Pope still looks out of sync with the rest of the team. At least he’s hitting a few shots now.

Kaluma’s on fire tonight.

 

[Chop]

Halftime.
41

30

 

[Chop]

Kaluma with 10
Johnson with 8

We’re largely running our offense through Kaluma and it’s working out great.

 

[Chop]

Kaluma is still at it.

 

[Chop]

50-37 us.

 

[cnb]

Offense gone stagnant. Lots of dribbling. No motion. Turnovers. Kaluma thinking he is Lebron James. Johnson struggling .
Tx doing everthing they can to blow this one. Up 52-51.

 

[Chop]

Ally oop Shedrick. Puts an end to a big Cuse run.

 

[Chop]

Our movement and screening is really good.

 

[Chop]

Pope playing out of control. Tie game.

 

[cnb]

Johnson cant buy a basket.

 

[cnb]

Syracuse up 59-58...SMH

 

[cnb]

66-63 Tx up with a minute left

 

[Chop]

For the most part, Johnson’s shooting has been cold as a Siberian blue norther tonight.

 

[Chop]

Clutch free throws. Needed that.

 

[LHABSOB]

For the most part, Johnson’s shooting has been cold as a Siberian blue norther tonight.

But those 2 FT to put us up by 3 were clutch.

 

[Chop]

Wow. Cuse just threw it to nowhere.

 

[Chop]

More FT by Johnson.

 

[LHABSOB]

But those 2 FT to put us up by 3 were clutch.

And the next 2 to put us up 5.

Cuse comes back with a quick basket. 68-65 with 15.8 to go.

 

[cnb]

Bonehead turnover.

 

[Chop]

Here’s Johnson again at the line to seal the deal.

 

[Chop]

Hit ‘em both.

 

[Chop]

Victory!!!!

70-66

 

[LHABSOB]

Hit ‘em both.

Hit our last 6 pts all from the line. Made up for an otherwise bad shooting night.

That’s pretty clutch for a true freshman.

 

[Chop]

The only way this gets any better is if we meet Tech in the winners bracket.

 

[Chop]

Unsung hero: Shedrick.

He certainly didn’t shut down big bad Eddie Lampkin, but he held him under control late when Lampkin could have taken over the game.

 

[Chop]

Weaver almost got a double double. Good late in the game.

 

[Malcom]

Very good win
Is it me or does some announcers sound disappointed when we win

 

[George Bailey]

Both the announcers and the postgame guys seemed really disappointed in the Texas win. Too bad, so sad.
