Oh good catch, just going off of what bleacher report says.

Oh good catch, just going off of what bleacher report says.

Their team abbreviation now sounds like some kind of venereal disease. UTRGV.

 

[HooperScooper]

Hate seeing Cuse win but if they hang on that should help us.

If it helps UConn then that trumps the hatred for Syracuse. Unfortunately.

Watching UNC Michigan right now on ESPN. Iggy Brazdeikis is big time for Michigan. I don't mind rooting for the Wolverines, and it's especially easy against UNC.

Me too. The graphic of Canadian freshmen they just put up with Dort, Shittu and Iggy was painful. All guys we seemed to spend time on for a while. Oh well.

 

[UconnU]

Florida state up by 10 over a VERY good Purdue team.

It's true.

And for every syracuse fan/writer who tells you our game doesn't matter because frank howard didn't play. Consider jalen carey scored 26 pts again us. In the 3 games since then he has scored 14, 0, and 4 tonight for a total of 18.

If you are rooting for Cuse to win in any situation you are doing it wrong.

Yeah, damn. That hurt to see.

...AND #1 OHIO STATE GOES DOWN!

Red Panda sighting...

 

[UconnU]

Florida state - Purdue is wild.

 

[HawkHusky]

I hate rooting for ACC teams, but you gotta do what you gotta do...

 

[HawkHusky]

wow

 

[Storrs South]

Cuse gets the win over OSU. Deff makes our win at the garden look better.

Florida state - Purdue is wild.

Didn't see much of the game but what I did see was frantic and a little sloppy. If we hit a few 3's we're right in it against Zona or FSU. Let's get at least 1 of those 2.

 

[zls44]

How is UNLV still so bad?

 

[Marat]

Florida state - Purdue is wild.

FSU up +16, then down and back up. UConn will have to disrupt their guards, defend Mann, and box out for rebounds against their big boys.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

FSU up +16, then down and back up. UConn will have to disrupt their guards, defend Mann, and box out for rebounds against their big boys.

FSU is 274th in the nation with a 0.85 A/TO ratio so UConn will have to put the defensive pressure to 100% and pressure their guards to force turnovers aplenty. The big guys can't hurt us on offense if their halfcourt game can't develop. Grind the heck out of FSU!

They also seem to have conditioning issues. They have looked much better in first halves than seconds. We can wear them out with the press and run and off the ball movement in the half court.

2 AAC games today:

Alabama @ UCF 7:00 ESPNU
McNeese @ SMU 8:00

Arizona plays at 9

 

[awfuldan]

Arizona plays at 9

I imagine it works in our favor that we have more time to prepare/rest than they do. Also, the 1pm start time definitely favors us. Gonna feel extra early for them.

What’s really weird about that game is that the line is only -8/9. They’re playing friggin Georgia Southern at home. The “Experts” are not buying Arizona this year early.

We need to be rooting for a big UCF win. Our conference needs as many wins against “P5” opponents as possible and thus far we are losing the battle.
