Great game. But let's be honest Syracuse looked awful. They clearly overlooked us. They had no energy, zone was horrible, and overall lacked effort. Big win for us, no doubt. And I hope we can use this as a catalyst.
That's absolutely inaccurate. Every time they punched we punched back, and then when it was time we ran them out of their own gym.
Breakthrough game for Rich, expect him to improve even more over BE season. We all have seen this in his game since his 20 pt barrage in the scrimmage.
Malik's ascension from his injury last year to this point has been fun to watch. 22 against Penn St. and now his best all around game as a Johnnie tonight.
Over Malik's last 5 games : 13 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.2 rpg while shooting 56% from the field.
Lastly, it feels great to be in the midst of a 3 year winning streak over Syracuse. Each win tastes better. Slowly but surely, we're coming along.
