Syracuse goes down to Creighton

61-56

Syracuse played well when they went to man to man defense but they did it way too late, only last 2-3 minutes of the game. Why would you play 2-3 zone against a team much less athletic who just shoots 3's? They invited the 3's by Creighton and Creighton obliged.

Syracuse would have given Tennessee a better matchup because of their pressure and UT's injuries mean lack of depth which means a press could be harder to handle. UT should handle Creighton I would believe.

yeah, I decided to go with the "reverse mojo", and show a little love to the 'Cuse in my bracket..thanks a lot, yeh Orange!

Yup. Tenn by 30.

I don't know. Tennessee can't really guard the 3 that well. They lost to Missouri who shot 11 of 24.

Cuse messed up my bracket as well. Creighton should have been an easy win.

Now on to the ACC where like the Big East they'll never be in the running to win a Conference Championship. Probably finish behind Duke, UNC, ND, Maryland and is most years Ga Tech and Florida State was well.

 

[Vowelguy]

Creighton has no key seniors. BE favorite next year?

Another reason to dislike the 'cuse. Nothing like getting busted first round. Was this the first game?

Predicted a Marist upset of Mich State. Now two losses in my bracket and the tournament has just started.

 

[pinotbear]

Marist had its' chances. Never could quite get the hoop that would put 'em into the lead, but they had several opportunities to do so.

Not surprised about 'cuse. I kinda felt they were pretenders this season... Blue Jays are no pushover!
