Biggest Cuse fan you will see and I lean Kansas tonight...it makes me sick saying that but we are still a few weeks away from putting a complete game together...Kansas looked to me like they are in mid-season swing and it helps that they are playing in their backyard. This is a road game for cuse and a home game for Kansas. I think Cuse is the better team and will make a deeper run come March but I think Kansas might cover this game....Im getting sick to my stomach writing this I have to stop

Dont get me wrong though...cuse IMO with their A+ effort can beat any team in the country and that includes Uconn, LVILLE, and anyone else in the big east and UNC---Kansas just as easy tonight if we play better than we did last night

yes, but Aldrich won't be able to dominate inside as easily as he did last night. Also, as good as an onball defener as Sherron Collins is, JF will give him problems and against a guy like Flynn look for Collins to pick up at least 2 cheap reach in fouls.

I am not sure what I am doing here, but I kind of like Cuse as they have the talent to win, only drawback is the home game for KU (not exactly, but come, in KC)

I agree...surprised to see the line drop so far...Cuse A+ game is as good as any team in the country, but at this point I have a hard time believing I'll sit through a game without watching Devendorf shuffling his feet and Paul Harris going up for about 4 layups where the ball slips out of his hand. The team can just be so sloppy. And if they don't make their free throws tonight KU will likely make them pay. Collins-Flynn should be a great matchup...also interested to see how much man-to-man vs zone is played, both teams incorporated both last night but I think they both play better in man-to-man.

This should be a great game to watch thouhg, Arinze, Aldrich, Flynn, Collins...Cuse will need another big night from Rautins in my opinion.

KU has to prove they can shoot out of a zone. I am not sure they will be able to do that.

Also, SA mentioned the crowd. Tonight it will be a bigger factor, as I think everyone including KU fans knew UW sucked and will suck the rest of the year.

^Good point...Kansas is not shooting it well from downtown...Still thought the Cuse zone was giving up as many layups as threes last night...thought if they can sag off and not respect their shooters that might not be the case tonight.

I like ND as well as Luke will be happy to bang with Connor all game, but I think this one, I just sit back and enjoy as I think there are better plays out there.

Even though this is a great game, I don't believe I will make a play.

I think 'home court advantage' in college basketball, has a lot more importance, and a lot more effect on the game. However I determine home court, as the court they play on for ALL their home games. Sure the crowd is a big plus, but the huge advantage of playing at home is the familiarity with the rims. Just think when you were a little kid and would shoot outside for hours on your driveway hoop, or the hoop at the local park. I swear I was an 80% shooter on these baskets I was most familiar with. Same thing goes with high school and college. I always shot better at my 'home court'. It is simple. You are used to the enviornment. You are used to the background behind the basket, you are familiar with the rims and the way they bounce, etc. Shooters love to shoot on those home rims. Therefore even though Kemper may have a home court feel it is still a long ways away from their real homecourt. Sure Kansas does play here at least once a season, but still I don't think this is a true home game

as for ND HD pretty much beat me to it and summed it up. ND has a plethora of guys that can torch you on any given night. They probably have the best player in the country surrounded by great guard play and above average shooters scattered all over the court. Tex plays smothering defense when they have to stop one or two good players they usually do good, but with ND there will be five guys on the court at once that can really hurt you. Three of which could go off for 30 on any given night. ND is going to show the country just how deep the big east is this year. ND would be the dominant team in 99% of the conferences in the country. Too bad they play in the big east

Killed it. Good shit. Can't believe Abrams almost hit that at the buzzer would have killed your ML.
