Cuse opens -12.5 over Albany

[690West]

Not a lot of points. I think we play a complete game and start rollin!!

I’m leaning on Albany being 328th in rebounding.

 

[Giants1973]

That's alot . For spread

 

[PoppyHart]

Georgetown beat them by 32 last week so this will be a good barometer.

Albany has been up and down but I wouldn't touch this with a 39 and a half foot pole. I'd like to see a touch more of the Westry/Cuffe backcourt that Red briefly experimented with on Saturday. Along with Choppa, Davis and Freeman with enough Chris to get him some confidence.

 

[phil77]

We will cover

 

[NineOneSeven]

Good teams win but great teams cover. So, we might lose.

 

[Red Holzman]

Remember back when we looked forward to watching alley-oop dunkathons in these matchups, coasting to a 20-30 point victory?

 

[BomberOrange]

Take Albany

 

[Cuse4455]

If we play a lick of defense we'll win by 10+, but if we leave guys open then well we might have another Lemoyne game.

 

[capeorange]

We will cover

how many overtimes?

Tomorrow’s game is on ESPN2? Wow was not expecting that at all.

Seems bizarre.

Seems bizarre.

I feel sorry for America that it’s nationally televised.

Seems bizarre.

This is giving me an even greater sense of foreboding.

Is that the O/U for 3pt attempts until the first make?

Too soon?

What's the sum of all our winning margins?
I might throw 5 figures on Albany to cover.

 

[jncuse]

Syracuse hasn't beaten a Q4 cupcake by 15 points since December 12, 2022 (nearly 2 full years ago when we beat Monmouth 86-71). We won by by 29 points on December 6, 2022, if you are using a 20 point threshold.

Given that P4+BE teams have won OOC Q4 games by an average of 24 points so far this year, its quite the accomplishment. In a bad way.

15 total (or 3.75 points per game). Based on only giving ourselves a 1 point marginwin against Youngstown since it was OT.

 

[MGraves5]

Is Albany worse than LeMoyne? Cornell? Youngstown St?

 

[Entropic]

Based on that generous spread, I venture we keep it competitive and pull off a solid low to mid single digit win. The sort of dominating win to put us on the map.

[jncuse]

Is Albany worse than LeMoyne? Cornell? Youngstown St?

Based on KP, which is the type of model used to set lines.

Cornell 134
Youngstown St 216
Albany 231
Colgate 273
Lemoyne 339

 

[Grbac]

Red better let Choppa cook against Albany. Stop playing around. Moore and Freeman 20+ a piece.

Someone messed that up. I was expecting it to be on the CWXYZ787+Extra network (only available via stream).

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Insane this is on ESPN 2 but I'll take it waiting for a surely delayed Spirit flight from FLL at the steakhouse for 1/2 price wine bottle night.
