Oh believe me, it's on!
This is a first for the forum - a game so highly anticipated that the game thread goes up over 24 hours early!!!!
DOWN WITH THE GAELS!!!!!
Teeactually I think this is the 2nd time I've seen this happen. Can't remember which poster did it before though.
How come no one ever tells me these things? Here I am doing things the hard way, like a shlump.All the game threads for every future game have already been created on the pay side...

Kenpom has some weird stats under his "personnel" heading.This team is 'Cuse's tallest in 10 seasons
Will size matter? Syracuse basketball team is tallest in last 10 seasons

Tonight we need to play both offense AAAANNND defense. On offense, we need to score baskets. On defense, we have to stop the other team from scoring on every trip. If we can score more baskets than the other team we will win. Oh, and we have get rebounds. Rebounds are important. Also, we can't foul the jump shooters. A really good jump shooter will shoot 50% from the field but 80% from the FT line. So we can't foul good jump shooters. Also, turnovers. We can't turn the ball over. But we need to get steals on defense. And our players need to make the extra pass to a player with an open look. Making an assist is just as good has making a basket. We need open looks on offense and no easy baskets on defense. Playing defense is key to winning the game. And as a stretch goal we need to get fast break offense off of steals from our zone defense. Not that it matters that much how we score but a fast break dunk is really fun to watch.
So in summary, we need to score more than they do. If we score more than the other team we will win. Thank you for listening.
