Duke at Cuse. Time still TBA.

Still hoping it's 6 or 8 but c'mon how hard is it to pick a time. Three weeks and counting.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Depends.

Are they figuring Duke will win by 20 points, or by 40 points?

Right. It's HOFHCK VS HOFHCJAB and the night before the SB. Besides that what else matters.

We don’t matchup poorly vs Duke if Sidibe can manage his fouls and continue to rebound.

There's parity in college basketball, but for the sake of all that is good and holy, let's tone it down a little.

I know I know

That's some serious wishful thinking relative to Sidibe. He'll be up against Top 15-20 NBA pick in center Vernon Carey. If Mooney went 28 & 14 against us, it'll likely be quite similar, it not worse. It's quite possible he'll have 3 fouls in the first half of the 1st half's half.

Tone down what? I didnt say we’d win.

Chukwu was able to hang pretty well last year

It'll likely be the 6 PM game. There's no steam behind Syracuse basketball this season. ESPN isn't going to put this as their prime time game if there's a better matchup involved.

 

[Trueblue25]

Mooney’s not a good comparison to draw.
He is the best rebounder in the country.

I didn’t say its likely Sidibe can manage his fouls. Nor did I say he would. Just said if. when not in foul trouble he’s rebounded very well.

And, Stevie Thompson used to shut down the opposing team's top player by playing m2m.

And, I said it's wishing thinking on your behalf. Hey, if you don't think Sidibe is going to find himself in serious foul trouble (therefore, significant minutes out of the game) against a highly regarded 6-10, 270 lb. center with offensive skills, etc., I'll have what you're drinking.

I’ve seen weirder, out of the blue, performances by similar role players vs Duke.

thinking of Roberson and Chukwu
