G'town with another big OOC win for the BE at the Carrier Dome.
Frankly, Syracuse doesn't look that good to me, this season. I've seen 'em play a few times already, and have came away unimpressed. If we can play halfway decent defense (I know that's asking a lot), then we should could come away with a win.
Syracuse may end up in the NIT in March.
To add to that MJD, they have to turn around and play E. Michigan on Monday night. They took Pitt to 2OT's before losing in early November. By the time they play us Wednesday night, it'll be their third game in five days.
If LoVett can play, we can give SU a game. Their front court isn't what it has been in recent years, but we need to establish some kind of presence inside or they will just keep coming at us until we foul out of the game.
The freshman Thompson, kid from Jersey, will be a load to handle. Their biggest weakness is the lack of a competent point guard. Like they did w the Duke transfer, they are trying to turn Frank Howard into a point guard, and he isn't getting right now. Just have to hope that they don't turn the corner before they play us. 3 games in 5 days is a lot. I hope you're right. We need a legit win to get these kids motivated for the season.
