Syracuse To Beat Indiana?

[PhillyFlyers]

Indiana looked shaky vs. Temple.

Syracuse is battle tested after having played Louisville 3 times, Georgetown 3 times, Temple, Villanova, and Marquette this season.

Jim Boeheim is a great coach even if he did pay his players to play there.

Should be a great game.

[marcoloco]

i agree, should be a good game

[k13]

Time to double up on Indiana now.

You're doubling down on Indiana -5.5?

[Quake]

Agree it should be a great game. Think IU wins but -5.5 is too much for me to feel good about.

I like Cuse and MSU

R u kidding me? MCW is a bum and Syracuse tries to make every play end up on Sportcenter's Top 10 (they would rather hit a difficult fadeaway over a jumper any day and they want to dunk constantly). Syracuse is super overrated. The only shot you have is actually taking it in the paint this game (oh man MCW and his messed up jaw must be salivating over all the Top 10 possibilities) against that p.u.s.s.y. Zeller. Without Southerland you guys wouldn't be shit. MCW and Triche are bums and can't even hit clutch FT's. Now, on the other hand, I do believe Indiana is overrated too and after that game yesterday, I said I would never bet Indiana again...until I saw they were playing Syracuse!

I think Indiana had their scare and they will play better vs the Cuse zone.

[Full Time Hobo]

Cuse's offense is too inconsistent to trust them.

The wrong team is favored. Take the points + ml. I would rather see a Big Ten team advance but it's not happening in this one. I'll start a lock thread on Thursday. Unless everyone on Indiana has the game of their lives they have no shot.

This hamburger is bound to get a pick right sooner or later.

Syracuse has been playing well since they the big east tourney. Beat seton hall, pitt, gtown and was killing the best team in the country louisville for 25 minutes before they ran out of gas. They beat a good montana team and cal as well. If cuse can hang with Louisville for so long they can hang with anyone.

HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the amazing thing about this is that they have been missing huge free throws down the stretch of every single game and they have had alot of scoring droughts going 5-10 minutes without scoring. They beat Cal, alot of people's upset special, going 10 minutes in the second half without scoring a basket. If they didn't have these scoring droughts and hit their free throws they could handle Indy pretty easy. That is a big if.

Stay away game, but should be great to watch.

Go back and watch the last five minutes of the SU win against Cal, and if you still want to load up on the Orange, bless your heart.

Go watch the first 35 minutes of the Temple game. If Temple didn't go ice cold (had nothing to do w/ IU's D) then they won that game.

Indiana has the outside shooters to handle the Cuse Zone.........This one shouldnt be that close...... 73-61 final......

IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, If Temple doesnt have 1 player they score 29 points in the game......... LOL IFFFFFFFFFF

Yep, let's talk about Cuse supposedly having problems w/ Cal when they controlled the game from opening tip but ignore how IU barely came back against a Temple team who has ONE player that can score.

Umm Temple beat Syracuse

Umm Temple beat Syracuse

Meaningless regular season game. The Pats lost to the Cardinals, Indiana lost to Whisky twice, sh*t happens.
