one night only- I am a huge cuse fan and hope they win by 50!

[djct1999]

LOL thats funny man. they are 4-0 against rpi top 50, 3 of which were on a neutral court (minnesota, cal, baylor). and 9-0 against rpi top 100. they also embarassed north carolina, who won AT michigan st and beat louisville on neutral court and kentucky at home. and since cuse beat villanova of course nova is overrated lol.

win in march and get back to me......seriously, until then you are grossly overrated.

Ennis has been very good for them, reminds me of a young Andre Miller with a better shot. Conney has good positional defense and moves his feet well. He is a bit slow though. He does a great job of using screens and has good footwork for flairs. His big problem is that he drifts quite often when he jumps to shoot. When he goes up and down he is pretty automatic. Grant can jump but he's not quite a basketball player yet, very good athlete with a ton of potential - will he end up like Rudy or like Robinson, who knows, but he's there with either athletically. Fair has a great 15-18 footer but I can't peg him. He looks like he should be so much better than he is. Something is missing, stopping him from being great. I mean he's good, but he should be so much better with his combination of athleticism and skill. Their frontcourt is a mish mash of crappy-relative-to-high-school-ranking. If UConn had two McDAAs playing that poorly fans would be pissed.

Solid plucky squad, lack of star power could hurt them, as well as the typical choke job stuff.

I'd love a matchup with them in the NCAAT.

Their fans are still the worst college basketball fans I have ever encountered.

Spot on caw……Ennis is a real nice player, probably the most valuable player next to Fair for them. Cooney isn't bad but when he moves out to guard people drive by him easily, although he does make some plays I will give him that. If UConn had 2 HS AA's they'd be better than what you see of Christmas and Coleman - JB isn't real good at making the bigs better………

And I agree, their fans are easily the worst in college basketball…….basketball dumb and laughable with some of their misconceptions of why world outside of the Dome…….

Like last year's final four and like the elite eight from the year before that?

3-1

 

[Mots010]

What does ucon's championships have to do with it? I was replying to the "yet another early departure" bit in regard to Syracuse in the tournament.

Not winning a National Championship is considered an early departure on this board.

 

[breezy]

How does being "rated" right now, based on what has happened so far this season, have to do with March?
And, if you'd like, I could compile SU's record in March for, say, the past 10 years and compare that to ucon's.

Be sure to compare their respective records in April

 

[OkaForPrez]

yup, you guys definitely got us when it comes to April. No denying that.

Who forgot to close the gate? If Roy and pearl are here, marsh dash jdubs and the rest of the hate brigade ain't far behind. You guys should go home and talk about how irrelevant we are.

 

[mauconnfan]

Like last year's final four and like the elite eight from the year before that?

And the National Championship the year before that pearl…….I mean I hope your goal even as a fan is to watch your team hoist a NC banner not an Elite 8 or a "We're #1 in February" banner…...

UConn, I'll assume it was a typo, or you are just a trolling jerk.

Championships aside UConn and SU are probably pretty close over the past ten years in terms of overall March/April records.

2004 - UConn 6-0 NCAAT + 3-0 BET + 1-1 RS, Cuse 2-1, NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 2-0 RS
2005 - UConn 1-1 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 2-0 RS, Cuse 0-1 NCAAT +3-0 BET + 0-1 RS
2006 - UConn 3-1 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 2-0, Cuse 0-1 NCAAT + 4-0 BET + 0-2 RS
2007 - UConn 0-0 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 0-1 , Cuse 0-0 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 0-1 RS
2008 - UConn 0-1 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 1-1 , Cuse 0-0 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 1-1 RS
2009 - UConn 4-1 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 0-1, Cuse 2-1 NCAAT + 3-1 BET + 2-0 RS
2010 - UConn 0-0 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 0-2, Cuse 2-1 NCAAT + 0-1 BET + 1-1 RS
2011 - UConn 6-0 NCAAT + 5-0 BET + 0-2, Cuse 1-1 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 2-0 RS
2012 - UConn 0-1 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 2-0, Cuse 3-1 NCAAT + 1-1 BET + 1-0 RS
2013 - UConn 0-0 NCAAT + 0-0 BET + 1-2, Cuse 4-1 NCAAT + 3-1 BET + 1-2 RS

Combined that's:
UConn:Cuse
NCAAT 20-5 vs 14-8
BET 11-7 vs 16-8
RS 9-10 vs 10-8
Total Tournament 31-12 vs 30-16
Total overall 40-22 vs 40-24

I'm not including NIT here, and really regular season is kind of meh to include. So your overall statement is correct but UConn has a huge lead in the NCAAT, even with the ban last year. Cuse has a big lead in the BET. Both are mediocre in Regular season march games.

Past five the record stands at:
UConn: Cuse
10-2 vs 12-5
6-3 vs 8-5
3-7 vs 7-3

Cuse has made huge strides the past two years to improve their NCAAT record going 7-2 in those years, but only 7-6 the eight prior.

There really isn't anything earth shattering, Cuse earned the perception of bowing out of the NCAAT early from 2004-2011, the past two years have helped quite a bit but two years are not a trend.

And while were talking about those early exits, I saw you yahoos mentioned the San Diego 1st round exit as a comp to Vermont. The game our point guard blew out his knee in. So you can have your AO and Fab 'what could have beens' and then knock us for going down in the first round when we lose a pro point guard? Go screw. Add Dyson on our '09 final four team as well, he's played more games in the league than Fab has.

George Mason was in the elite 8. If that was you guys you'd hang a banner.

F BC!

teams I openly dislike
puke (almost over)
uk(mostly because of Cal)
NC ST (not sure why)
cuse
and BC

I hope the entire arena turns into Zombies and they all eat each other, then a meteor strike cleanses the area by fire.

2004 cuse was a 5 seed, lost in sweet 16, not bowing out early
2005 they bowed out early big time
2006 5 seed, lost 1st round, technically they bowed out early but they were a bubble team heading into BET and that gmac miracle run earned them a 5 seed against a bcs team in the 1st round with gmac basically on 1 leg. so on paper they bowed out early but in reality that team wasnt anywhere close to a 5 seed and wasnt winning anything without a healthy gmac
2009 - 3 seed, lost in sweet 16, not bowing out early
2010 - 1 seed, lost in sweet 16, bowed out early but an asterisk since that was not a 1 seed team without onuaku
2011 - 3 seed, lost 2nd round, bowed out early.

2005 and 2011 are really the only "bad" ncaa tourny losses in last 10 years.
