29 bench points, Clark another game in double figures, Nikita 2-2 for 3s, and Vaughn 5 assists. Can this be right?!!

Awesome.
Skita's threes were the ball game, I thought. Amazing to come in firing like that, with so little PT in the prior games.

How the heck does JTIII know it is Nikita's time? He has barely played in our soft OOC games, and in one of the biggest BE games, he hits his two 3s.

That's why he's our coach.

I was a little confused why Nikita didn't play more. I mean the guy scored 6 points in a minute and a half.
All those "Henry Sims is a big project who can't help us" posts were premature. The guy played big minutes.
There were alot of moments when Clark, Sims, and Monroe were on the floor at the same time.

I love Jessie because he has the heart of a Joey Brown and will fight to the end. He is the guy you would want to have your back. That being said,I think we are beginning to see the difference in talent level between he and Clark, just as we see the differrence between Wright and Wallace. Speaking of Wright, Flynn owned him tonight. Flynn could get to any place on the court he wished. In the end JT3 put Clark on him to slow him down a bit. You could also see Wright was hesitant to challenge him on the dribble drive by. Did these 2 play many ALLSTAR games against each in high school? You could see Flynn was in Wright's head.

Fantastic game tonight from the entire team. The bench was outstanding. The development of Sims and Clark over the last several games is remarkable. They do not resemble the players we saw a month ago.
I was concerned going into the game but when I saw that stat that Cuse's BE opponent combined BE record was 1-14, I instantly felt like we were much more prepared and battle tested for this game.
Hard to single out any one player when it was a complete performance so I will just say well done by the whole team.

How the heck does JTIII know it is Nikita's time? He has barely played in our soft OOC games, and in one of the biggest BE games, he hits his two 3s. Mescheriakov was all of 2-14 from the field entering this game. Ok, he's 4-16 now, but JT III must have seen something in practice that could have him contributing Saturday as well.

What a win.
Some shout-outs:
T-shirt cannon finally fired into 118, long over due. The improvement was appreciated.
I didn't see most of the ND and Providence games - wow Sims and Vaughn look like different players - that gives us a lot more confidence in using our bench down the stretch.
Nikita won the game in 2 minutes. What can I say - I was happy to see him succeed. JTIII has clearly been sandbagging with him on the bench.
Also, Rautlins went off to the locker-room, what happened to him?

The lineup which features a frontline of Summers, Sims & Monroe is the key to the rest of the season in my opinion. That solves our rebounding/interior defensive issues. Sims is very active in the paint on the defensive end.

Also, Rautlins went off to the locker-room, what happened to him? Nikita was going for a lose ball and accidently drove his knee into the ground. Didn't go back in the rest of the game.

I don't know how Devendorf hit that girl, but I know we beat Syracuse with a CLOSED FIST tonight!
(I know we're not supposed to talk smack here, but I couldn't help it!)

Wow - everyone of our guys scored against the "#8" team in the country. Does this change our view on the depth of the team?

Also, our offense was terrific but Syracuse shot over 48% from the field (second only to Tennessee). I remember last year holding many teams to under 40% but this year all our Big East opponents have broken 40%. Is this the new MO? Should we expect our defense to improve to where it was a year ago or has the style changed to a more high scoring format?

I guess Las Vegas knew what they were doing.

It seems like we never lose a big game when Freeman shows up.
