I'm Over Syracuse Basketball Like It Was That Paper Football Game You'd Play In Study Hall

CLEVELAND — If one team were expected to make a late mistake last night, it was probably Marquette, which squeaked into the NCAA Tournament without a lot of experience. Instead, it was Syracuse freshman Dion Waiters who turned the ball over with a backcourt violation on an inbounds play with 52 seconds to go in a tie game, and unheralded Marquette that escaped with a stunning 66-62 victory to send the Orange home and advance to the Sweet 16. “We had a freshman take it out and it’s one of those things,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim That play led to Darius Johnson-Odom’s three-pointer with 27 seconds to go, which gave Marquette a 62-59 lead it never gave up. The Golden Eagles will face North Carolina in the East Region semifinals in Newark on Friday.said. “It was just a miscommunication. He should have waited a second to let [Scoop Jardine] get clear. But it was one play.” “We just had a little breakdown at the end,” said Rick Jackson, Syracuse’s lone senior. “They have good players and they made open shots.”

Fuck this team. Fuck 'em. Fuck Scoop Jardine, fuck Rick Jackson, fuck the 2-3 zone, fuck the freshman who inbounded the ball like a jackass.  You can say these games were bound to happen when you match Big East schools against each other but fuck that. Marquette wanted it more and Syracuse was way too cool with giving it away. I think what pisses me off the most is they just play dumb fucking basketball. Not closing out on shooters and not allowing the ball to go in the backcourt but instead try to toe the line and get a violation to turn the ball over. Those are middle school mistakes. I'd bet my dick every time if you told me Syracuse was down a basket and Scoop Jardine would sprint up the court to take a rushed 3 pointer and brick it off the back of the rim. He's done it like 5 times this season. I'm just sick of it. I need to flush this team out of my system like a bad piece of pizza.
