No Syracuse "homers" in this group...

Really, Mike, you don't pick us to beat Dayton?

Thanks, Mike.

President Obama's bracket has Syracuse over Dayton.

He knows.

I probably won't pick us over Dayton either. But part if that is an emotional hedge.

Most of the betting public apparently doesn't pick us against Dayton either, albeit we're only 1 point underdogs at this point. I'm considering making a wager, but the 2 point line move and Mike's pick have made me nervous about making wagers. I'm soliciting advice though, so feel free to weigh in, lest I feel the urge for a new thread.

Syracuse is in my final 4. Not joking.

Were you sober when making the brackets? Not joking either.

Is this real ? We are an underdog to Dayton? Somewhere somehow some " body" is going to make alot of $ on this game. I don't care what anyone say's, we should beat this team easily, I know the past, and I know the ups and downs of the season. Finally lost my cool. This game should be ours. I am not trying for any replies or stirring the pot, just we should win this game!

Its pretty much a 50/50 games, can't fault someone for picking Dayton, I have us winning, but far from a certainty.

Looking at the two teams schedules, I agree with this. I don't see significantly better results from either one of these teams.

Does Dayton have an injury to a key player? I've heard that but I'm not sure.

I like SU in this game, but for mostly soft reasons. Revenge game for JB, second lease on life for the team, so maybe they play a little looser.

Other than that, this looks like a tight ugly game.

I bet Pete Thamel is picking Dayton
