Kansas/Syracuse

Syracuse is a pretty good team also. Just beat Florida last night.

I think this will be a back and forth game, and will come down to who is shooting better from the field/3-pointers.

should be a good game... Nice to have 2 good games like this one and ND/Texas so early in the season.

If you believe the 3 pt theory, you should bet Syracuse. These are two of my favorite college programs, so I keep up with them. This KU team is not going to be a good 3 pt shooting team. Only 25% on the season. Every once in awhile, they'll get one of those hot games, but that won't be a consistent weapon for them. 'Cuse meanwhile can use it as a weapon with Rautins, Flynn & even Devendorf. I think KU is a better defensive team by far. Self preaches that whereas Boeheim you can tell does not have the best defensive club as he's used man-2-man alot more this season because these kids don't cover well in the 2-3 & he's hoping athletic ability can do it in the man situations. Look for KU to mix in the zone some more tonight to try to keep SU from hitting too many 3s. Watch Onuaku vs. Aldrich down low. That will be fun. If KU allows the boardwork that Washington did last night against a better 'Cuse team, 'Cuse can cover. I think KU probably wins a close one. But Syracuse can take this easily if they shoot well and play some D.

This is a good matchup. But I think KU's D and rebounding will be key. That was a big win for Cuse yesterday. I don't think they have another game on that level today. I'm thinking KU wins pretty big.
