I'm worried about the cuse in this one. They've yet to start a true pg cause they are both on IR. They have been upgraded to day to day, but neither has played a minute this year.

Should still get by UConn but Oregon will be tough without a true PG. I'm just hoping Iowa wins one of their 2 games

UConn runs a three guard set and so far are shooting lights out. SU w/o guards, Hurley is going to press SU all game. Like last year, SU is struggling shooting the ball.

They've both played Morehead State on their home courts this year. SU winning by 16. And the Huskies winning by 10. I gotta hope the SU D will be up to the task of cutting back on some of those made shots.

Wouldn't be surprised if we see UConn and Oregon. But I still think Cuse will pull it off.

Any idea of what to expect from Iowa? They can usually score but I haven’t seen them this year

Bunch of scoring , too many turnovers and no defense . IF they shoot it well it'll be semi competitive ( 6-8 point game ), if they don't it'll be blowout city

I never trust Oregon in November

lmao

 

[Hitman Hart]

good game between Cuse and UConn so far

 

[podsox]

Cuse has nobody that can dribble

Really missing their PGs. @jonvi called it.

 

[Hitman Hart]

really not sure why Greenberg was chosen to replace Digger Phelps as ESPN's #1 CBB studio analyst

 

[rmilia1]

Just what we all expected

Cuse vs Oregon and Iowa vs UConn .... Lol

Heck of a win for Iowa.

I have nothing but respect for UConn and Dan Hurley. I imagine most, like myself, knew of Bobby Hurley, but I don't remember this guy ... his brother. Anyways, he has UConn on point for now. I like a coach that's exciting.

This weekend is great for SU though. No matter how good five players are on the court, you still need someone to run things from the point. SU's Carey is young and will be a great baller by the end of the season. I'm not sure what's going on with Howard's foot, but it seems more a problem than what has been said publicly. Till then...SU's going to struggle until Carey gets up to speed.

But when he does........

BTW....any husky fans out there.....Great game. I like your HC.

Oregon in the third place game after losing to Iowa? They could go home with two losses in this tournament. Apparently Cuse is a decent favorite.

Cuse was a one point favorite

I didn’t see the spread. For some reason ESPN said Syracuse had a 75% chance of winning.

Nice win for Oregon.
