They'll win a lot of games if they pretend their opponents are the 'Cuse.

This game was winnable but they just don't seem to know how to win, especially on the road. Great show on national TV and in an extreme hostile environment.

If you don't think they played a great game today you weren't watching. Cuse matched UConn's effort its just that their shots were falling.

And lose by 20?

Did you watch the game? They played very well today.

They cut the lead to 2, and then Drummond goes out for 5 minutes, and the lead gets back to 10. The cut it to two again, and Syracuse just couldn't miss.

Syracuse put up one of the most amazing shooting performances I've seen, and UConn was only down 2 with 4 minutes left.

I do think they played well, except for the last 5-6 minutes ... big issue for them is giving up the big run. Until that's fixed, it doesn't matter how well they play in the course of a game.

They were down 2 with less than 4, but they played bad for the last 6 despite battling back and taking about 6 or 7 points off the Cuse lead to drop it from 8/9 to 2?

i feel so good after this game oddly....they had zero way to stop drummond...if drummond didnt get hurt the game would have been much much closer

They really had no answer for drummond when he posted up low and they gave him the ball. Blaney needs to show these guys the film on that.

Andre was just so much better after that soft left he threw up and Fab Melo blocked it and yelled out...........think he finally got pissed off and played like a man..........if he gets that fire for the remainder (hopefully healthy Wednesday) it will be fun to watch. He was posting up hard, getting low and into Fab and others so they couldn't move him at all (awful call on the foul when the stick Keita fell like a Dukie). Many times this year he kind of just stands straight up and allows guys to move him with their knees and forearms...not during that 2nd half stretch he became a menace to Melo and crew!!

All I know is I am sick of seeing teams bank in 3's. This has to be the 5th or 6th game in a row it has happened.


Throw in the Drummond/Napier injury and apparent Lamb tweak near the end of the game and there was no way UConn could win. Healthy I think it stays a much closer game.

AD showed glimpses today of being an unstoppable force! he needs to do three things.

1. stop deffering and trying dump off passes to olander and oriahki
2. stop putting up that soft nonsense and go for dunks. to quick to explosive to big for anyone to stop him
3. GET PISSED!!!

When AD is just outside of dunking range he was blocked and a shot fake would help there, but everything else in close dunk of course. We really moved the ball well today for 3/4 the game. If we go 4-2 I think we make the field and become a dangerous team. But bottom line is we do what wr did today and we will be very tough. Cuse is very deep.

Lamb's been hurting since the Georgetown game.

Cuse is just that good. UConn played well, but Syracuse is better.

You know when the those 94-95 Bulls teams had the same players but they were missing Jordan? That's this years UConn team.

And since the Bobcats suck so much, maybe David Stern will allow Kemba to return to UConn for the last two months of the season.

I was happy with what I saw from Drummond today. There was one instance in the second half, where he went straight to the rim, posted Fab hard, got the ball deep, and by that point, it was an easy two points. Need to see that more often.

when AD gets the ball in the post in good position and does that spin move to the basket he is unstoppable. the spin is quick,he gets off the floor quick and is pretty much out jumping any big in college which leaves two options for the defense. 1. get posterized or 2. foul him. i think we`ll see AD in get the ball deep in the post alot more now since AO is pretty much useless. sorry couldnt help myself.
