SYRACUS, NY – Following a highly competitive game between teams last week and a possible coronavirus outbreak, Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boheh said he doesn’t expect the university to host men’s basketball at Buffalo in the future.
On his radio show on TK99 on Wednesday night, Bohemia was irritated by the trash conversation with Buffalo during Orange’s overtime win, a tight game that required a 16-point second half comeback and an epic chase-down block by Len Griffin to push overtime. Is. .
Boehme said Buffalo players talked about trash during the game and then complained that they should win.
“Buffalo talks from the trash throughout the game,” Boffeh said. “After the game, they were talking in the trash. So there is no way they will play here again. We don’t need it and it’s not very representative of what you should do. They are there, ‘Well, we must win.’ No. You play 40 minutes. Then you play overtime. Who is ahead at the end of the game is the team that should win. That’s the team that should win. Duration.
“Not to say you don’t have a chance to win. But you could not win. To say you should win. … No one should ever say that. I never try to say that. I will try to say that we can win. We were in a position to win at Rutgers. We were three with five minutes to go. … They pulled the plays down and they are a really good team and we don’t have two starters. “
Brian Wolfe, Buffalo’s director of athletic communications for the men’s basketball team, declined to comment Thursday.
Teams have played competitive and physical games in three of the last four seasons, with the Orange winning two of the three. It was the first inter-school game since 2001.
In 2017, Bohien credited the quality Buffalo team with a win for helping Orange in the NCAA Tournament, one of the final four at-last selections. Su Suite 16 runs scored.
After Buffalo broke a 18-game losing streak against Syracuse next year, former Buffalo coach Nate Oates, who got his name for expressing himself in a way many coaches wouldn’t, expressed some feathers incorrectly, “We’re a better team. We play hard. ”
In addition to his thoughts on the previous game, Boehhem also provided an update on the SU program, which is currently on hold due to post-game contact tracing against Buffalo, a process that has resulted in the cancellation of three SU games in the future. Two weeks.
Orange’s next scheduled game against Florida State is now January 6th. “Baurma Sidib’s recovery from a torn meniscus is currently on target and SU is expecting them,” Boehme said.
The Bulls had unexpectedly positive test results after the game. An undisclosed number of Syracuse players are now considered close contacts, meaning they are required to be kept separate for 14 days by New York State.
Bohehem said Syracuse players can do some work during their quarantine, but it is limited to individual workouts with one player and one coach, and they must maintain distance and wear masks.
Boffeh declined to say whether Buffalo’s game had resulted in Syracuse’s positive results since then but he doubted the coronavirus had spread during athletic competitions.
He said the players are only close to each other for a limited time. Based on measurements made by Syracuse during the Boston Game Ledge game using wearable technology, Bohem estimated that players spend about five minutes of real time in close proximity to each other.
Bohemia expressed displeasure with Nandaga County and the New York State Department of Heath’s determination of the circumstances under which contact tracing quarantine should be triggered.
National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines close contact as individuals who spend 15 minutes within six feet of each other over a 24-hour period. New York uses a more rigorous approach of 10 minutes. In addition to these definitions, the World Health Organization includes individuals who have had direct physical contact with someone who has tested positive for any time.
“You’re out when you have tracing of contact,” Boehme said. “There were some cases of buffalo. I don’t think it transfers to court. But, unfortunately, no one in the medical community agrees. They think they can. I don’t think he can. … We’re just about five minutes away from Buffalo. We had chips against Boston College Ledge so we knew we were next to a player for about five minutes. It is supposed to be 10 or 15, but they do not agree with this. They think it’s no contact. Woody (Newton) played four minutes and was out. ”
Boehme also expressed disappointment that New York needed 14-day quarantine for contact tracing, the longest in any state in the ACC’s footprint.
When the C.D.C. Saying it is a safe approach, it has updated the guidelines for accepting tolls that can take individuals the amount of time in quarantine and said it gets practical and acceptable alternatives to seven- and ten-day quarantines when certain conditions are met. .
