Syracuse Basketball: Coach’s Clipboard

Tyler Roberson

Robey, man get over here we need to talk. Coming into this year you looked poised for a big senior season but I haven’t been seeing it. You’re better than you’ve been showing. I don’t think you need me to tell you but your intensity just isn’t there most games.

We need you crashing the boards better night in and night out. You are pivotal to our defense in the zone as well, and when you play well so does Lydon and our team. Though Gillon’s our spark plug, you’re our defensive sparkplug.

When you get a board, and get our transition game going we break things open. We’re going to need that against Louisville, Virginia, and Duke coming up. We’re counting on you to show up big. Don’t make me remind you again. We need you to step up your game.

This Syracuse team counts on you on defense. I know what you can bring it, so bring it. You’re a senior, play like it. You’re a great kid. Okay, enough life lessons, see you at the game.
