Syracuse tonight....illogical explanation inside

[Furmanski]

Ok....so, I have been thinking today about what people are saying regarding Syracuse having to come back tonight and play after the 6 OT game last night....

Well, the only thing I can think of is last year and UGA having to play 2 FULL games in 1 day and winning both. I, for one, never thought they would be able to hang in the 2nd game.

I personally think Syracuse is on a tremendous roll right now....therefore.

Syracuse +3.5 (first half)
Syracuse +6.5

@)

My opinions are normally way off though.


BOL to everyone.

these are 20 year old kidss they cant be that tired. ha

 

[TheCuban]

Couldn't agree more, plus every tout is on WV which a bad sign for WV backers

cuse wins this game outright.

 

[ZJP6050]

cuse wins this game outright.

my money hopes you're right, because that's how i feel too.

 

[DoubleJ]

Agree, especially in the 1st half! Also have the game as well, and think they win outright.

 

[headquarters]

hi Furm, I thought you might post along these lines as I too remember the night the lights went out in Georgia.

Good luck with your plays. I'm on the first half and got the hook before it went down to +3 at most places I've seen.

it wasn't 1 or 2 OTs. It was 6 OTs.

Cuse, for all their fight, will have no legs for this. None. You cannot fight fatigue. If your out of gas, your going down. NBA players dont go 3 nights in a row.

Besides, WV slaughtered Pitt. Has everyone forgot this?

West Virginia

I think West Virginia is a great bet tonight, I hear what you guyes are saying, but come on reality, 6 overtimes. Not 1 or 2 overtimes your talking 6 o.ts
Good luck.

Backing you on this one Furminator. I dont see how they could be too tired not to perform at the high level they did last night. Yeah, theyre young. But, they go out everyday and work out and run like marathon trainers so they are use to the wear and tear. The emotional tear is the only thing that may have been drained. Good analysis on UGA as well. I remember that and I couldnt believe that as well. GL

jdub, that is one fabulous set of .

this is being totally over blown. all these kids played AAU ball where you regularly play 3 or 4 games a day over the weekend. they are in tremendous shape this time of the year, plus you have to figure other then Flynn, and Harris who played the whole game, a lot of the other players got some decent rest. Arinze fouled out in the 1st ot, and Jackson, and Devendorf were out in the 4th. Fact is this team has been playing the best ball of the season by far, and are on a nice roll right now. They were dead and buried several times last night and showed the heart to fight back. Who thought they would show enough composure to fight back after Devo's 3 was waived off? They had to be so emotionally let down, yet they still won. Boehiem went on record about 3 weeks ago and said he likes what he sees from this team, and won't be surprised to see them string together a bunch of consecutive wins. Obviously he knows what he is talking about. This is the same WVU team that Syraucse dismantled at the dome last month. I will take the points, and a little on the ML as well

 

[FearTheRaven]

My lean is WV.

Not due to all the stamina talk.

Just think WV plays a lot better D.

 

[homedawg]

The key to the game will be Syracuse's ability to keep WVU off the offensive glass. if they can do that they will win. Ebanks has been a monster on the offensive glass as of late, but Syracuse has a little more bulk. Both teams are playing great ball right now. I have been high on both teams all season. I think they are both top 10 teams despite all the criticism i receive for it. It should be a great match up.

It was 6 OT's. The batteries will not be fully charged for this game!!! & Cuse is facing a team that plays excellent defense & is in a revenge spot. They will make it a good game for 30 minutes. Somewhere in the second half, there will be a 10-2 run that Cuse will not have the legs & accuracy to come back.

I predict WV wins the Big East tournament.

Thanks Paddy.

Anyone know if the spread has changed because of the overtime? :drink:

 

[gtc08]

answer this question. who does this game mean more to? will give you a good indication of who wins tonight.

this isn't the big dance where its make or break. both teams know the world won't end if they lose tonight.

so, who does it mean more to?
