FDU playing Syracuse today

[Bone Dog]

This will likely be a lopsided win for Syracuse, given their size advantage and scorers like Wooley Wood and Camp. FDU relies on speedy little guards and their 6'2" big Teneisia Brown. But it also means FDU will have experienced playing a bigger quicker team by the time they get to Storrs. This may make them a slightly more interesting challenge.

I want undefeated FDU to BEAT SYRACUSE... I'm a dreamer. It would set up
a battle of the unbeatens for WEDNESDAY night's "SHOWDOWN"! (The joke
is on me, but "What me worry"?).

You had me at this.

FDU lost by 19. Sorry if any dreams shattered. I personally would have been happy to see FSU take the Orange out.

Syracuse 77, FDU 58. FDU scrappy, but undersized. FDU only 2 players in double figures, Renninger and Parke. Points in the paint, Syracuse 40, FDU 6, Points off turnovers, Syracuse 16, FDU 2.

FDU coach is 8th among active D1 coaches with 702 wins! (And 46th among all divisions all-time).

Coach Gaitley will leave Storrs with those same 702 wins after Wednesday's game. Hope she stays #8 among active D1 coaches.

I was there for the game. Syracuse handled FDU well. Height was a big mismatch. UConn should be very dominant.

Yep, Washington Generals getting in some nice work to prepare for Geno's Globetrotters celebration.

Yes, the nice people who would not give us a home coming game. They are among the very small number of teams that I will never root for.

I don't blame it on the school, I blame it on Quinten for being such an AH just because Stewie went to UConn instead of the Cuse. He got his just deserts down the road and I believe that he is still not coaching because of his immoral behavior.

AH = Artificial Humanoid (alternate abbreviation)

Concur with your assessment.

It is amazing that she has a job, although she has been very successful if success if judged only by wins and losses. Was fired by St. Joes 20+ years ago. Then was fired by Fordham much more recently, also for misconduct. After the latest terminaion, the only coaching job she could find was at Ocean City HS, her alma mater. Then FDU, whose program as been horrible for years, decided winning is the most important thing and hired her, much to the surprise of much of the basketball community.

I still can't believe they hired him. Really made me lose a lot of respect for Coach Yolett.

He’s a good coach but an awful human being

I wonder if Coach G opens things up.

You're right. I shouldn't hate the school, just dislike them a little. I doubt it was a 1 person decision. If it was, then multiple people concurred with it despite making the school look like a bunch of AHs.
