ND over Rutgers by 3

We need to beat Rutgers this Wednesday.  Split with them is important.

Agree, big momentum game. What a day of hoops in BE!

Completely agree.  We need to establish ourselves as the area's top dog.  ND barely beat RU showing that either the Irish are vastly overated, ND's football players played in the game or Manti's girlfriend was in the stands. ;D

The league is so wide open this year, we win a few more games and can be at the top of the league.  Time to shine

Just saying.  We are a few wins away from being in the thick of it.  Gotta keep winning.  The RAC game will be tough.

It is unbelievable.  There were 7 games today in the league and 2 won on the road, Cuse and SJU.

But of the 5 home teams to win, 4 won basically a one possession game at the end-Cincy, USF, ND and Providence.  Pitt beat UCONN by 8.

Outside of Louisville and Syracuse few teams win blowout games in this league even at home.

Thus far, there is no doubt that Louisville and Cuse play a level above everyone else in the league.  Yes there will be nights when a team gets them, but they can both look downright scary at times.

Honestly, Rutgers has surprised me a bit.  Mack and Carter are a nice tandem, and even if you don't like Rice, he gets his teams to play defense (reminds me of Norm a bit in that regard).  Miller also can do some things and against the right matchup (like us at the Garden), their two true bigs can cause some problems (Judge and I'm blanking on the other senior who did some damage against us).

Miller hurt us last game, and I'd like to see Dom/Garrett lock him up next week.  And I'd also like to see Christian play a bit more to help CO down low on the blocks against their two big guys.

Just think that at minimum we have a slight talent advantage over Rutgers so not good to be swept by them. We should come out hungrey to continue momentum and make up for home loss vs RU.

Really need to split with Rutgers.  I don't want 2 losses if we approach bubble at the end of season.

At what point does Jay Wright update his resume?

 I don't think he's too worried.

 if he did get canned, he would have a job before the door hit him on the ass on the way out, either on TV or another coaching gig.

Really our season begins now. If we finish 6 or 7 in the BE we should have a good chance of making the tournament. As of rigt now our record means nothing now as long as we do well the rest of the way...maybe Stealing a few games in the BET wouldn't hurt either...

Impressive;

“@BigEastMBB: Syracuse is 27-1 in its last 28 BIG EAST games - the best 28-game stretch in league history. UConn won 35 of 37 between 1994-96.”

“@EyeOnCBB: Per the conference, the Big East's nonconference record of 177-60 (.746) is the best of any league.”

 Seems like every week either Obekpa or Sampson wins Rookie of the Week. Good days ahead for this team.  Need to keep growing and learning.  We could have something special.

Branch's emergence is going to be big for us. he and Harrison have to develop some chemistry out there.  Once hey do, Our backcourt will be tough to stop.

Cashmere Wright in first game back goes 2 for 13 (many from Utica)and makes several bad plays down stretch. Kilpatrick never sees rock at end of game. Cuse in a good one wins by 2.

Yeah they are going to kick themselves, they should have won this one.

Cuse is good but they are skating on thin ice in terms of getting picked off.  Last 3 games, first against Nova at home needed a late run to put them away, then the Louisville game and then today.  I wish the SJU game with them was next just because I think they are riped to get picked now.

For some reason it seems like DLOs offense has been oiff since Branch has been starting.
