kansas scares me. i think they have looked better

 

[purguy12]

All around good day for the ACC and I hate to say this but the Heels look really good beating Providence. They will be a tough out.

i know we are loaded this year but berry has improved alot. next year with jackson, berry, and hicks we should still be good. i hope jackson stays. he needs 1 more year

 

[Deep Creek]

I got a fool on Facebook telling me UVa is overseeded and there are at least 12 teams better that UVA still in the tourney.

He's gotta be drunk.

I like SU's chances next year as well. I think SU has two of the ACC's better returning Freshman ... Tyler Lydon and Malachi Richardson, who I'm guessing will go to the 2 Guard position. I doubt Tyler Roberson will go pro...actually kind of banking on it. But he blasted Dayton with 18 boards and 10 points the other day. Same kid that got 20 boards at Cameron. Coleman returns for what I think is his 6th year. And that 7'2" dude from Providence...Chukwu will have sat out his one year transfer period.

SU picks up a good pg in Tyrus Battle in the 2016 class. I think he dropped UM to come to Syracuse knowing SU wouldn't have a PG. Also incoming is Matthew Moyer, a 6' 8" forward that's getting lots of attention now.

It will be anther year of a short bench, but those 7 should push SU into the NCAA's again next year.....NCAA sanctions be damned.

So going to be the Zags vs Cuse/Mid Tennessee.

I think they'll be in the elite 8

lmao....Your hate for the ACC and to a much greater extent for SU has grossly mislead you this year.

Any hope at all for your backup PG (Caleb)?

Anyone that knows Coach JB will tell you to never get in that dog house. And Joseph didn't listen. It's all about defense with Boeheim. If kids are not where they are supposed to be, he puts the hook on em quick. Kaleb got his chances pre-season where he got ok minutes but once conference play starts, JB doesn't play. Here are Joseph's minutes this year after conference play.....

01/02 - Miami - 6 Min
01/05 - Clemson - 5 Min
01/09 - NC State - 2 Min
01/16 - Wake - 4 Min
01/28 - ND - 1 Min

02/27 - NC State - sniffed the court for one possession.

Joseph will see the court when he listen to Coach about where is ass is supposed to be. He'll play preseason, but better be in his spot or he'll not see the court again. Obokoh is another one I thought would do great at SU but isn't getting any PT. He should make a decent 5 in the SU zone, but just doesn't listen. So Lydon get's the 5 spot minutes even though he's a skinny true freshman.

Cooney's a great example that if a person is good on D, they can chuck up anything on the offensive end and rarely get yanked. That's JB.

Pretty boring day yesterday, the Indiana/Kentucky game was the only really exciting one

hopefully it kicks back up today

I agree on the pretty boring part.

But you clearly missed Butler vs Virginia. That was a hell of a game.

Generally, the more upsets you have in round 1, the less you have in round 2. Works the other way around as well.

SportsHoopla bookie is going to make me work today. SU was a one point dog playing Dayton. I let everything I had ride and picked up just short of $900 vcash.

Today SU's a 6 point fav. Damn.....it's like nobody watched MTSU put the boot to MSU.

Cool, I was just asking cause my sister was one of his teachers in HS. She said he was a great kid. I'm just hoping for the best with him. I know playing for JB was his dream.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

If Nova keeps driving this is a win.

If they settle for 3s they better be hot.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Need Iowa to cover the 7 points.

Damn.....Kids always come from somewhere and sorry to hear a kid your teacher liked is getting hooked so quick.

Fun game so far.

Jonvi I'm picking 'Cuse in my survivor bracket today. Jimmy B won't let me down, will he?

 

[Smart]

Iowa should be really proud of their play so far. With the way Nova was shooting at the start and Nova's really good defense, this one had the potential to be in blowout territory already.

Yeah Baer had a few really impressive answers.

lmao.....I'm crying over a 6 point spread dude. I wanted points damnit.

But for real.....MTSU is another team that SU should match up well against because they don't have a big front court. SU's first 6 are much better than any 6 MTSU has. MTSU goes deeper though. If SU's starting 6 stays out of foul trouble, they'll treat MTSU much like they did Dayton.
