Twister Sister Summary - A Look at Syracuse

[acoustimac]

Syracuse took a big blow losing their starting point guard for the season last week. How will her replacements step up? Will ISU be able to handle the size and rebounding of Syracuse? Here's a look.

TSS – Looking at Syracuse

Syracuse is 23-8 overall and went 12-6 in conference play. They had common opponents with the Sisters in Utah and Mercyhurst. Both beat the Utes, but the Orange got them close to home. The Mercyhur…

I'm not really a fan of this:

Syracuse leads the ACC in offensive rebounds per game (16.8) and ranks seventh in the nation. SU is second in the league in steals per game (10.6) and turnovers forced per game (18.9).

Pretty sure we are going to see the same ol, same ol from BF and ISU in the tourney.

It's okay they're just really good at what we struggle against.

Hopefully Audi can score early and then get double digit assists. Every game should be an assist competition between Jada, Addy and Audi. We could really be an unstoppable team. Syracuse is a good team to prove it and get some confidence.

Get the ball to Audi early when she is open and calling for the ball, not when she is double and triple covered

Lordy…the negative Nancy’s are already coming out…they need to have their own thread.

Yeah…this jumped out at me. Coach always says rebounding is about desire and effort, but being 6’3” and having jump and long arms doesn’t hurt. I remember a couple of games where AJ had beautiful position and was blocking out and a taller player (I believe this was against TCU) just reached over the top of her to grab the rebound. To counter this our taller guards, such as Brown, need to really crash the boards. Crooks will need to use her body to block out on the ‘Cuse post.

Good, but important, question. No word that I’ve seen.
