I hate Syracuse. Seton Hall, UConn, the Red Sox, and the Lakers don't sniff my disdain for them. Last year I literally felt stress leave my body as Phil single handedly buried them into the ground. Here are my keys to victory:
1) Moose, Ron, and Durand must snap out of their respective shooting spells. These 3 need to regain their confidence, that's the biggest key.
2) Yakwe needs to get out in the fast break lanes and be found in transition. He needs to sprint end to end ala Karl Marlone/Charles Barkley, and start using his length and athleticism to his advantage. It's time that we start seeing these infamous fast break alley oops.
3) The defensive intensity needs to be amplified. CJ has been on an island, the rest of the team needs to follow suit.
4) Sima has to stay out of foul trouble, won't be easy against the likes of Dajuan Coleman.
5) We need the good Felix on Sunday. Keep the turnovers low and the +/- in our favor.
