Next Up: Notre Dame

Ya someone in the office said it was the 1st time Syracuse had 100 scored on them at home in 25 years.

Strong game for the Irish.  They even played without Luke Zeller, who is averaging 14 points and 9 boards a game.  Not to mention the school dismissed Sophomore Kyle Mcalarney (starting point guard) last week for a marijuana possession charge.  Word is he'll be back in the summer.

I guess what I'm saying is, they are a pretty deep team.

It was the first time giving up 100 at home in 10 or 11 years, and the first time they had given up 60+ in the first half at home in like 20

This game will come down to the 3. If we can defend it, we'll win. If we can't, we'll lose big. It's as simple as that.

That's been our Achilles heel this year, along with the turnovers. Hope they use this week to work on it...

Last time we worked on it was before the UL game.... I think we remember that outcome :-X

So, hopefully our nice new scoreboards can handle triple digits..... :-/

If they shoot under 35% we will have a shot.  If they shoot 40% or better we will lose by double didgits.  

One thing we are guarnteed is we will turn the ball over more than 15 times and will hit no more than two 3-pointers.  We will also give up over 15 offensive rebounds and 10 second chance points.  Thats a given.  So we must hope they shoot about 32% and we play our best.  

So Go Bulls and ND please play bad and give us a chance.    

[JoeB]

We'll hit more than 2 three pointers.  ND doesn't play great D (Villanova scored 100 against them and Syracuse 93).  How many more I don't know, but we'll hit more than 2.

[dabull80]

last thing we want is a high scoring, run and gun game.  If you have been at the last four home games you would see this team has found its identitiy as a hard nose,slow,deliberate paced game being played which is how this team wins.  I fear the ND game will seem like a road game with the Dome filled with ND fans.  Hopefully they will be mostly old and quite.
