    Syracuse at Louisville

    Game will be Louisville's senior night AND the last game EVER at Freedom Hall. Any better way to go out than beating the #1 team in the country? Am trying to find tickets right now

    Not to mention SYR will be coming off consecutive emotionally draining home games (Nova and St. John's for their senior night), and LOU desperately needs a win to pad its NCAA resume.

    LOU + whatever sounds good, TP! May only be 2 or 3, but I'll be on it.

    they dont have a true PG (Bryant cant be that guy IMO) and they have no back to the basket center. Still, they are a legit top 20 team but not a Top 10 team

    Don't be surprised if St John's knocks off Syracuse first.

    Like the Villanova game Sat I think this too will be a great one. Thinking Louisville will try to slow them down again, though that Coach Boeheim will have his team prepared. Still, could go either way and I lean Syr with a 2 or 4 point win. And of course, I could be wrong and `ville wins a close one. Take the under! Eagle, I would be very suprised if StJohn`s knocks them off tomorrow. A close game maybe but not a StJohn`s victory.

    Do you have any stats on how teams do in their last home game of the year ATS?

    UL is sure to be at least a 4pt dog at home.

    Some days ago I leaned Syr., slightly. Tonight I am going the other way, leaning `ville. Think they have beat `Cuse like five out of last seven.

    I see pick 'em, complete joke of a spread. Syracuse is #1 at an unranked team and the line is PK. Not sure if I have ever seen that before.

    Don't think I'll touch this one. With the emotion of closing the arena and all, and I'd expect Louisville to bring back all their name stars from past years, I hope it's a good game.

    potentially UofL's last game ever at the ole Freedom Hall. Me and my brother have been trying to get tickets for the past month but everyone wants so much for them because of the sentimental hype.

    Got that new arena coming

    Freedom Hall was a great place, still is for how old it is.

    Isn`t home-floor worth 4 points? 3 1/2? If so, that explains 7 or 8 points, right?

    That is correct. That means on a neutral court the bookmakers have Syracuse as a 4 point favorite. So -8 @ Syracuse, PK at Louisville.

    Still with all the public attention on Syracuse, the line will probably slide to Syracuse -1 or -2 by gametime.

    I think Louisville wins this game rather easily and with an early exit froim the Big East tourney next week say goodbye to Syracuse's number 1 seed in the tourney.

    And now you suggest a Syracuse "early" exit from the Big East Tournament AND a loss of a number one seed? OK. For the record, what is an "early" exit? Not winning the whole tournament? I do agree, Syr probably loses today, but they win a couple games in the BET and retain a 1 seed.

    I have been going back and forth on this game all week, fact is I think Louisville wins as Syracuse is a little banged up. However, I find it difficult to go against most any Jim Boeheim team so this is a no play for me. Going to sit back watch and enjoy either way. I might go buy a Syracuse newspaper before the game, if I do and find anything worth passing on, I will. If not, Enjoy the game men.

    Here's the deal boys. Line says lville and so does the final game in home stadium. Unfortunately, the cuse have extra incentive because of the lville loss at home and now they can take them out in the last game in that stadium!! Syracuse is the better team and will counter lvilles emotion with their own. Cuse win...

    If Louisville can beat the Orange at their place ( one if not THE toughest places to play in all CBB )
    then they can surely win this final game at FH and make it 685.
    Pitino has a plan.
    referees may chip in
