Syracuse

[BUConn10]

The Syracuse board is in mid season form! I've seen 16 references to conference affiliation, and not a single one about, well you know, basketball.

From the ESPN preview, just why.

Longtime rivals in the old Big East, Connecticut and Syracuse are meeting for the first time since both teams bolted the league for richer pastures two years ago.

They must know something about the AAC TV contract that we don't

You're all horrible people, and I feel bad for all the people who have the displeasure of knowing you in person. You are the nadir of human civilization.

Their mother was a hamster and their father smelt of elderberries.

I fart in their general direction.

Memphis Tigers are pulling for you guys. Based on our flop against UT-A the other night, we may only vicariously enjoy wins against good teams by watching your team. Good luck!

This game does not apply. We should play a good team tomorrow though.

It's all they got. They're so cute. When you can't beat us at hoops talk about " brand " and conference.

A bigger group of mouth breathers does not exist. They are so butt hurt that the retirement of JC and conference affiliation have not spelled our demise that I fear that one of them is going to end up going postal at sometime over it. Syracuse championships in the big east and ACC - 1. UConn championships from the AAC - 1


They are so pathetic on every level. We can do this all day.

Why do you think they made tshirts for 25-0?

I just watched the Orange mascot waddle out. Some Atlantis employee had to escort it onto the court. What a sorry sight

That better not be Bernie Fine in that costume.

Hamilton & Miller are particularly good at getting to the spots needed in the zone gaps. That ... Plus shooters having a good game means we should have a find Turkey.

In my excitement at the prospect of playing SU, I completely forgot about their zone, which is crazy since that's their marquee program persona.

I'm not a big fan of facing teams that play a lot of zone since it often makes for stagnant offense, but If Gibbs & Purvis can continue to knock down their deep 3s and our bigs can flash to the soft spots within their zone and our guards can deliver them the basketball, I like our chances.

I love how Gibbs and Purvis are taking 3s a couple feet beyond the arc, something that I think a lot of 3 point shooters should do since defenses tend to guard arc and aren't used to guarding 2 or more feet beyond it. If you can shoot a less contested slighter deeper 3 at a greater percentage than a more contested 3 just behind the arc, why not practice and take deeper 3s? Some shooters just can't make 'em at a good enough clip from that deep, but Gibbs and Purvis have been nailing them so far this season.

Just wasted a minute on the cesspool that is the Syracuse board.

The parents of every poster there need to be slapped upside the head for not using condoms. Absolute human filth.
