Syracuse-Washington game thread

[Plebe]

Great pregame piece on Washington and the adversity they've faced: Mike Neighbors' two heart attacks, the departure of McGuff right after Plum's recruitment, Chantel Osahor being hit by a car while riding her bike, and Katie Collier fighting through leukemia.

Thanks for creating the thread Plebe... I was feeling lazy.

I know everyone loves syracuse in this game. But, Washington is way more disciplined.

GO Huskies

I agree with you there. Washington will have to limit their turnovers and play great perimeter defense. The battle between Plum and Peterson will go a long way in determining the winner.

Just thinking about Kelsey Plum being the coach's daughter. Too bad UConn doesn't have a player coming in next year who has the training and toughness from being the coach's daughter.

 

[mdakota]

Just saw a player from 'Cuse with purple hair... shame on her.....

 

[Jimbo]

Anybody check out the stats from the first time these teams met? Ugly. Among the lowlights: Washington and Syracuse combined to go 15 for 63 on 3-pointers.

 

[mdakota]

Did anyone warn the Washington coach about the handshake line after the game?? Orange does like any Husky

 

[Nuyoika]

They are already a combined 1-6...

 

[Vowelguy]

Wash colder than ice.

 

[Blueballer]

Putrid shooting so far in this one.

 

[Vowelguy]

Final four jitters?

 

[Nuyoika]

Up to a combined 2-10...

 

[bags27]

don't esp. fear 'Cuse, but I don't like them. rather play UW, also to give them the honor of playing the championship game.

 

[Vowelguy]

Cuse is the clear aggressor. Have to wonder if this pressure is gonna wear on Wash.

 

[Plebe]

Washington's committed two charges, one on Plum and one on Osahor. They have to be smarter than that. That's a personal foul and turnover in one.

 

[mdakota]

Coach Q was on the court on that last play.... very close to the Husky players... someone needs a "T"

 

[Vowelguy]

Wash in big trouble.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Washington 4-8
Syracuse 3-7

Both of these teams shoot and make a lot of 3's. That's disconcerting, because it's the only way a team can beat us, and both of them are capable.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Syracuse press is working..wonder, if they win, how it'll work on Moriah..

 

[Plebe]

Wash in big trouble.

Syracuse's pressure is denying Washington that comfort zone that it needs to operate. Syracuse is doing what it does: gain extra possessions through turnovers and O-boards, and hit just enough shots to win.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Game over. 25-12 Washington is a turn over machine.

Come on Washington!!!!
