More Idiotic React

Champ and Russianator have already chimed in with some great stuff and I'm sympathetic if you are tired of reading takes on the SU loss to Georgetown on Monday night, but I'm an idiot and I need to get this out of my system:

Questions:
Where was Rick Jackson? 3 minutes of playing time is not enough especially in a game that goes to OT.

What is Paul Harris' offensive strategy? I'm serious about this, he doesn't have the consistent mid-range or outside game, and whenever he goes inside, his lack of height becomes evident. I'd say he should be running the wing on the fast break, but we need his work on the defensive glass to gain possession in the first place.

How does Scoop fill up the stat sheet with zeros and play 40 minutes? Actually he did have 1 assist and 4 turnovers...the loss of Devo (even I can admit) was a killer last night.

Everything being said, I loved the effort (save for Dontae's gunning in the first half) and the Orange deserved the win...and let it slip away in the final minutes. I'm still frustrated over it and while good performances and strong efforts are something to grab on to, this team needs some quality wins and last night should have been one of them.
