Remaining Schedule

We were never down 30. It was a 22 point lead and the score was 79-75 with 20 seconds left.

Yah it was a real nailbiter after they started rolling around on the floor laughing.

SYR Prediction: Game's tied in the final seconds, SJ with the ball, suddenly Lavin farts and the Syracuse players are so intoxicated by the delightful aroma that they forget to guard Marco, who drains a three to win it.

Coolest city in the world -117
Inbred Goober Hillbillies with nothing better to do because of the snow - 114

It's a winnable game for sure.  Syracuse isn't as big and is having depth issues right now.  Fwiw, Cuse might be tougher to play at the Garden then they are at the Dome.  They may msg a home crowd and play extremely well there.  Playing up at Cuse isn't necessarily a big disadvantage compared to playing at MSG. 

Our recent history with Cuse is telling us that this is not winnable because we are sooo used to dropping games to them.  This is a new era though, and I think we have a shot here if we play well.  Their zone has been hot and cold.  Need to get the ball to Jakarr in the gap and have him take it to the hole and draw fouls.  They don't have big man depth.  Only Keita and Christmas.

We will likely play a mix of zone and man today.  Cuse has one player that can dribble penetrate and that is Carter-Williams.  Stop him from penetrating and it will cause them some trouble.  Triche has to be guarded on the perimeter.  He's a hot and cold shooter, but when he's on he's tough. 

I don't expect to come out with a win, but looking at the matchup, it isn't necessarily the worst this season.  We need D'Angelo to find his game sgain, and Bourgault can be instrumental in opening up the 2-3 for everything else we do.  It's a no-lose situation today.  Lots to be gained if we win, but everybody expects a loss.  Play loose and we might be ok.

Now with news of Cap Lavin and Southerland's being able to play the task of winning becomes more daunting. Man I hate that program.
