Greene hits a 17 footer to put us up 1, obekpa gets rebound on the ensuing possession and hits 1 of 2.  Cuse desperation attempt misses.

anyone watch the michigan game last night?  cuse is not as bad as their lack of ranking suggests, they made some dumb mistakes at times, but they have a load of talent and length.  I think this is a dangerous team that could make a run in march.  it's good that sju gets them now

SJU beats Cuse for 1st time since 1986. SJU 71- Cuse 70

we can't beat the zone.

we can't beat the zone.

We can if guys other then Harrison hit open shots.

SJU- 68
SU- 59
20 points from Jordan.

I don't see Avery "Single-game three-point record holder" Patterson on the roster...so it ain't happening.

SUNY upstate medical center       - 72
SUNY downstate medical center - 57

SJU 75
SU 70

I hate typing this because i hate these guys but.
SU probably by 7-10.

Cuse is down, we are full of seniors. It's the ideal year for payback.
If not this year, then when?

Similar to the Gonzaga game. We fall behind by double digits, only to bounce back in the 2nd half. Maybe even cut it to a one possession game late. But ultimately we lose by 5.

True, how many times did that happen last year as well?

I'm torn on this one. We really can't have stretch like we did against Gonzaga or this will be a tough game to win. That being said I think we step up on the big stage.
SJU 68
SU 65

I want us to win this game in the worst way, but I just don't see enough offensive production for that to happen.   It seems that we score by accident half the time, and when we do it requires Harrison or Greene to make a one-on-one play.   That won't work against the zone.  The ball needs to move much quicker and guys need to make quick decisions with it - I haven't seen enough evidence that we can do that for long stretches of a game.
Hope I'm wrong but,

SU -77
SJU- 64

SU: 68
SJU: 62
