This is all you need to know about this year’s basketball team.

This is them in a nutshell. The sequence right before half with 1:02 left, Jalen Reed misses yet another dunk in consecutive games where he underestimates how high/far he can jump and gets blocked by the rim. How many times does it take him to learn that a layup counts for the same amount of points?

We end up getting a stop on the other end and call a timeout with 46 seconds left. We try another 3 with 40 seconds left and another brick only nobody gets back on defense and there’s a long outlet for a breakaway posterizing slam dunk and a foul.

Now there’s 33 seconds left and Syracuse has a chance for another possession if we don’t shoot it at the shot clock buzzer. But no, we don’t even get a shot off because Trae Hannibal, the turnover machine, travels with 10 seconds left giving Syracuse plenty of time for a last shot.

I applaud what looks like a team that is at least giving effort. But it’s just wasted with piss poor shot making abilities, turnovers and just low IQ basketball.
