Omagunk, there's a set of in-depth cliff notes somewhere through the story. I'll link you and then you'll only have 20 updates really to read from there.

Discussed this when I committed to Syracuse, lol. NCAA Basketball 09, created and redshirted me, simmed a year, put me on the inactive list until the conference schedule, and now activated myself. Not too hard.

Starting the update now.

New Sport, Same Result

at

#25 Syracuse Orange (9-3) at Cincinnati Bearcats (9-3)

Woy's Word
I felt a rush running out with my teammates onto the court of Fifth Third Arena. It was our conference opener and this Cincinnati squad was surprising a lot of the Big East writers. They were inconsistent, beating teams like Duke but also losing to Mount St. Mary's.

The arena was extra packed for this game cause I think they wanted to see if I would play or not. There were a few negative cheers directed my way, and a constant reminder of the football score against the Bearcats; 51-12. We were really cold and were down 15 with eight minutes left in the second half when I got the call from Coach Boeheim.

...

"Woy!"

"Yeah Coach?"

"Get in there."

...

"Now checking in for Syracuse, freshman guard Ethan Woy."

...

As I jogged onto the court, I was greeted with a shower of boos mixed in with a few cheers of the Syracuse faithful willing to make the trip. I stood out of bounds, got the ball from the referee, and threw it in to Jonny - signaling the start of my collegiate basketball career.

Right away, Jonny called 'Circulation' which was a play that I came off two screens to get an open shot. I rode my guy away from me, setting up the screen and got open just inside the arc. Calmly, I leaped up and let the basketball graze off my fingertips towards the basket.

Swish.

Unfortunately, Cincinnati put the clamps on me the rest of the night and I only hit three of nine shots after the first one. The last one, with us down by 18, was a thunderous dunk that even got the Cincinnati student section cheering for me. Maybe it was because they were blowing us out, or that they had a respect for my talent - I don't know.

The only thing I know is that we lost...bad.

Cincinnati 69

[Lumpkin]

[Woy]

idk how you can play ncaa basketball 09, choops 2k8 is so much better.

Cause I don't own it and don't have live to download the rosters.

 

[Woy]

How are you a freshman? Shouldn't you be a sophomore?

His first year playing basketball, so yeah he's a freshman.

 

[Chill]

aka freshman year in like mid January..

 

[Woy]

Wait, what? So has he played a year of football and then switched to basketball? Or is he playing both and you're just doing one at a time to not confuse people (which didn't work with me, lol).

Yeah he's playing both, and doing one at a time. I simmed through the conference schedule - since football was still in season - and after taking a month break (December), I'm back to playing basketball in time for the Big East schedule.

 

[Woy]

Like Greg Paulus, except same school.

:shifty:

No, it's not at all like Paulus.

Paulus used all four years of his collegiate basketball eligibility at Duke. Athletes get five years of athletic eligibilty, but you can only play one sport for four years - unless you're like a Jason White or Jordan Shipley who get six years of eligibility cause of medical redshirts. Well Paulus used his four basketball years, but he had one year for anything else. He transferred to Syracuse for grad school - not able to be eligible to play basketball. He had that one year though to play, so that's how he's playing football.

If he was redshirted at Duke during basketball season, he would have been ineligible to play any other sport right now.

I don't understand how no one gets this - IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SEASON! He couldn't play the early games because football season was still going on.

Don't mind ARobb, he's just a dumb Australian.

Sixth Man

"Seton Hall!? Seton fucking Hall beat you guys!? You should be embarassed!"

Coach Boeheim was lashing out at our team after losing to Seton Hall. I didn't play very much but just like the rest of the team, I was pissed about dropping our second conference game in a row - especially to fucking Seton Hall.

"You better turn this ship around otherwise we aren't making the tournament! And I'm sure as hell not talking about the NCAA one!"

Well now I know how Coach is going to motivate us. After we all got dressed and got on the team bus, Coach stopped me just as I got to walk on.

"Hey Ethan?"

"Yeah coach?"

"Were you comfortable with your playing time the first two games?"

Honestly, I felt like I could have played more. Maybe I could be the difference between us being 1-1 or 0-2 in conference play.

"Yeah, I'm good. Why?"

"Cause I don't think I'm giving you enough PT."

Wow, Coach and I do see it the same way.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Would you be comfortable playing in a sixth man role for us against St. John's?"

Maybe this was just a ploy to get more buzz around campus, seeing that this was our first home conference game. Or maybe Coach actually feels like I can make a major difference on this team.

"Yeah, of course."

"Alright good. And one more thing."

"Yeah?"

"You have an open shot, take it. Let it fire. You've seemed hesitant to shoot in your first two appearances. Just have confidence...no one on this team is going to bitch you out for a bad shot."

I smiled. It was nice to see after only two games Coach would allow me to do my thing.

"You got it Coach."

"Good. Now get on the bus and keep quiet. We got a long ride home ahead of us."

Yeah we did...plenty of time to process my thought about the next game.
