All five players should be involved on every rebound!!! I disagree. As a point guard/guard RULE our point guard needs to get back on defense in case of Cuse's fast breaks. We've had enough of our players not getting back on defense especially our guards in the past.

www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2017/12/syracuse_freshman_bourama_sidibe_frustrated_by_sore_knee_and_twisted_ankle.htmlSo how does the Orange have an 8-1 record while beating teams by an average of 10.6 points per game? There are a couple different answers to this question (again with help from KenPom.com):
Syracuse keeps the ball. The Orange is the second-best offensive rebounding team in the country, grabbing 41.6 percent of its misses. Thanks to its rebounding and the turnovers it forces, SU ends up with about eight more possessions per game than its opponents.
While SU gives up a lot of 3s, they're very stingy inside the arc. SU is allowing its opponents a field-goal percentage of only 41.6 percent. That's 13th in Division I. Helping SU's defensive effort and the possession point above is the fact that the Orange comes up with a steal on 13.9 percent of opponent's possessions.
The key for Syracuse going forward is to keep hitting the offensive glass, force turnovers and defend inside the arc. Making some of its own 3-pointers would also help ease the burden.This stat scares me, Gtown has to protect it's glass.. May be a good idea to have all five players involved.. The thing is the hoyas have actually been pretty good on the boards statistically. A lot of that is competition, but they haven't been bad. We're 44th nationally in defensive rebounding and 25th in offensive rebounding. I'm more worried about the fact that Syracuse is 4th nationally in steals and we've been pretty sloppy with the ball (207th in protecting the ball) The TO issue worries me too but not as much as defensive rebounding.. I think the board numbers you site are directly related to opponent..

Anyone who thinks we are going to be a good rebounding team against real team is kind of crazy.

Just hit every shot. Problem solved.

Just hit every shot. Problem solved. They're a good offensive rebounding team, so hitting every shot will help but they will still get extra possessions. We just need to play more Sodom to block every one of their shots so they don't have a chance to rebound

We've had enough of our players not getting back on defense especially our guards in the past and our opponents scoring easy transition baskets. Hoyas must COMMUNICATE and POINT COMMUNICATE big time. Primarily I was talking about on the defensive end. Sorry for not clarifying.

Per ESPN on when each of the remaining undefeated teams will loose.
"Georgetown Hoyas (8-0) "Saturday (Dec. 16), vs. Syracuse Orange
"People wailed and moaned when Georgetown released its nonconference schedule -- and people were right to wail and moan. The Hoyas now sit at 8-0 with one road victory (at Richmond) and wins at home over the likes of Maryland Eastern Shore, Maine, Coppin State, Howard and North Carolina A&T. The first opponent that Patrick Ewing's team will play that could potentially find itself in a postseason tournament of any kind will be Syracuse this coming Saturday. That will also be Georgetown's first loss. The Orange are pretty good in these Big East reunion games."

Not only are we 2-0 in the reunion games, but we have won 4 of our last 5 against the Orange...

If anybody is interested, the Big East is currently streaming the 1984 Syracuse-Georgetown Big East Championship Game. Georgetown Athletics shared the link as well, which is how I saw it. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get Facebook to allow me to share the link here.
These things are usually available later on once they aren't "live" anymore.

No clue where they got the impression Syracuse was good in these Big East reunion Games. in BE reunion games Syracuse is 1-3 vs. St. John's 1-1 vs. Nova 0-2 vs. Georgetown 2-0 vs. Uconn so 4-6 but only 2-6 vs. Current BE teams and both those wins came in their first year in the ACC.

Here's where the rubber meets the road. Patrick is crazy like a fox. We will see what the team is of, and I am optimistic. The team has pride and will not under-achieve!

Seth Greenberg about to talk about GU (and remaining undefeateds) on ESPN 2 during halftime of Nova-Temple.
Also previewing Saturday's game.
EDIT: So much for that. Seth noncommittal about game but mentioned the easy early schedule as a chance for Pat to get his feet wet.

it's hard to say how good we are given the schedule we played. Perfectly possible we will win this. Take the points
