alabama/syracuse

this line opened at syracuse -1.5 and is now down to -1 at pinny.

i like alabama. i think syracuse relies to much on mcnamara to hit the three-ball. i have seen them play when his shot is not on and it is u-g-l-y.

I agree Blue. I don't think Cuse is that good this year they would have been out in the first round if Mcnamara didn't have the game of his life. Bama vs. Uconn to go the the Final Four.

I'm an LSU fan and feel I know Bama pretty well. They have some outstanding talent and leadership on their team, but I will be on Syracuse here. I just think they are a better basketball team with a superior coach. Also they have the edge in experience in this situation. Bama should've been beaten by Stanford, but the Trees let them back in it in the end. I don't think that will happen with Syracuse. The Big East isn't overated at the top of the conference like the Pac 10 is.

Just my opinion guys.

good luck

From right here in the Heart Of Dixie, I agree wholeheartedly TigerVen. The Cuse Zone Defense will reak havoc on Winston, Pettway, Shelton and Co.

Cuse 68
Bama 60

Your talking about ousting a team with champions on it by a team that is clearly not better - Mcnamara was 2 for 11 or something like that and they dominated Maryland - they rely on Warrick who puts up 25 every game - on top of the fact that Bama is a horrible 3 point team - unless you are hitting threes Cuse will be tough to beat

The champion of that team is long gone his name is Carmelo. Last year they had him and Duany. I'm not saying that Bama is definitely going to win but if your saying Cuse is a great team your nuts. They have two players Mac and Warrick. Noone else is good at all on that team. Forth bricks foul shots after foul shots if he doesn't get in foul trouble himself. Same thing with Mcneil and he is only a defensive presence anyway. Bama has the athletes to run with them the only thing they are lacking is experience in the situation. They did play the hardest schedule this year which will help them.
