Unfortunately this is the first game all season where I think the Cards weren’t prepared well and lacked effort. Syracuse simply wanted this more than the Cards and that’s reflected on the defensive end. Mack’s gotta figures out to get the guys reingaged so they don’t limp to the finish line.
Lack of Effort Tonight
- Thread starter Knucklehank1
- Start date
Been going downhill since the Duke collapse. I thought we would get beat badly this game...because of their style....think we lose to Virginia twice. 11 seed in tourney...maybe when 1.
Agree. I really believe this was a bad matchup for us tonight but the good feeling this team had seemed to disappear after the FSU and Duke collapses. The wind was at their backs all year up till then and coach Mack deserves a ton of credit for the way this team has competed all year up to now but his toughest task is staring him down now.
This limited team made us proud for most of the year and seem to have hit a wall. I’m going to ride this out and enjoy an NCAA tournament bid for as long as it lasts.

Nwora is the one that gets me. Played half speed, plenty of lazy weak *** passes, jogged back on defense many possessions. He should have played about 4-5 min of the second half. Once he jogged back on defense he should have been pulled and had his *** ripped.
I’ve got news for him. With the guys we have coming in he may go back to the role he had with Padgett. Freshman or not a lot of the guys we’re bringing in will start from day one - that my friends is a fact.
We’ll have at least three newcomers (minimum) in the starting lineup, maybe more. And, no way Sutton lets anyone take his spot. So, I guess the remaining new guys, Williams, Enoch, and Nwora can fight for the last spot. Nwora jogs around like he’s playing in the NBA all star game. His effort last night made me want to puke.
