Syracuse will win. They've already taken the lead back.

There's no way you can win a game in the Big East without a single timeout in the final 8 minutes.

Cuse is sooo good. If Depaul can pull it out more power to them. I doubt it though.

The game ended about five minutes ago. DePaul had the final possession and their leading scorer bricked a 3 from 20+ feet out. They got the rebound but couldn't get a shot up in time.

Correction Depaul was beating Syracuse but they would fall by 2pts. Great effort but this is where a rookie coach really looked like it. Depaul had no timeouts the last 8 minutes of the game, which is something you never see in college basketball. Even Jim Boeheim said he didn't understand why DePaul start holding the ball completely getting out of their offense. The kids played hard but that DePaul HC is a long ways from being ready to coach college basketball.
