Two road games this week with a pretty short turnaround for that Cuse game. Pitt is a team that started strong but has faltered a bit of late. Syracuse has been the opposite. Since Boeheim came back from suspension, they've been rolling. I think every outcome is in play here. I can see us winning both games or just as easily lose both. I'll split the difference and say we win one.

Pitt leads by 9 at the half. This is going to be a loss if we keep this level of play up. There's almost zero aggression on defense, allowing Pitt to get several wide open shots

90-71 loss. Terrible effort tonight. Worst we've looked in awhile.

Welp, that was a shitty loss. Lead the entire game until OT. Cuse hit a ridiculously long 3 to tie it up with seconds left in regulation too. Plenty of blame to go around but LeDay played like garbage in the 2nd half.
