We really need to beat Villanova lol

 

[UconnU]

I’d really like villanova to somehow pull off a win here.

 

[UconnU]

Syracuse better win this game.

 

[Robertelamin]

Memphis is in the process of getting blown out.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Good god Tennessee is good

And they aren't even at full strength with Lamonte Turner out.

When was the last time we've seen a duo like Grant Williams and Admiral Scofield? Both guys are no taller than 6'7, but clock in at 240 with myriad athleticism. Tennessee is arguably my favorite non-UConn team this year.

Nova is a play to the level of ur competition team

 

[UconnU]

Nova up 3 with 9 left

 

[UConNick]

Memphis not quite dead yet... reminds me of many of our games over the past couple years where we did just enough to storm back into shouting range (8-12) after getting blown out early. And just like many of our games, they might close it even more, to say, 4-5, but they won't win.

Edit: now they’re dead. Down 13 with 3ish to go.

I was thinking the same. Davenport is carrying them

So far SMU wins against Georgetown, Memphis isn’t getting beat by 30 which is a win for the conference, so not bad.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Smu beats GTown on the road.

 

[Ajs120102]

Wow cuse is gunna lose. Goodbye SOS

 

[HawkHusky]

Cuse about to lose.

 

[uconnell]

2:52 left Cuse down 5 with the ball.
Cuse loses to OD

Smu beats GTown on the road.

GTown ~65 in NET and ~80 in KenPom. Borderline Q1 win for them, although GTown trending in wrong direction.

ODU is actually about as good as Georgetown, so this isn't that surprising considering Gtown took cuse to the wire. I think our Syracuse win is going to look worse as the season goes on. Our at large chances look pretty bleak.

 

[Minicoop69]

Well Syracuse just lost to Old Dominion. Ugh!

A lot of season left. Kind of early to say "our at large chances look pretty bleak."

If we beat Nova i think it stays alive. If we lose to Nova it’s gunna take an absolutely dominant AAC schedule which I don’t see.

 

[awfuldan]

Cuse is bad but that's still a solid neutral court win for us. SMU win is good for the league. That's a solid road win.

Really impressed with how Villanova has extended this game at Kansas. They've done almost everything right. Still prob gonna lose.

 

[August_West]

Well Syracuse just lost to Old Dominion. Ugh!

Rejoice in it.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Wonder who Boeheim will throw under the bus in his presser...

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Even when we want Syracuse to win they can't. Against Old Dominion at home.

I'm not ever rooting for Syracuse again.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Syracusefan.com for me this afternoon.

 

[Jaker]

Cuse sucks even with Howard playing, without him, they are terrible
