Duke favored by three touchdowns.

 

[phsyra]

How much would we move up in the NET rankings with a win?

 

[Orangezoo]

How much would we move up in the NET rankings with a win?

10-15 spots given the expected outcome with this being on the road.

 

[cusefan88]

Jay Williams slobber fest.

 

[Nicknack]

If we pulled this off, would it be the greatest upset win of our program history? Other contenders I suppose would be our upset win against Virginia in the ncaa tournament in 2016, beating West Virg in 2021 in the round of 32 when they were #3 seed and we were #11, or all the way back before my SU fandom in 1975 sweet 16 win against North Carolina.

Probably drop because we’re Syracuse

 

[MikeSU02]

Jay Will, good lord.

Literally would rather listen to anyone but him.

 

[HyattsCuse]

Ugh, looks like I’m watching the game with the sound muted. Can’t stand Williams.

I will never understand how he and Kendrick Perkins ever got jobs as “analysts”. They are bottom of the barrel awful at the job.

What about us beating UNC in 1987? The experts gave us no shot in that game. Actually, they didn’t give us a shot against FL that year either.

 

[MikeSU02]

I know the likelihood of winning is not good.

And I'd root for The Monstars against Duke.

But this group of guys is easy to root for. Most of them will never see an NBA game except one or two. It would be nice to get this win even if we're far past salvaging the season.

The second half of last game was some of the most entertaining ball we've played all year.

I watch every game with the sound muted. Can't stand the inane chatter and distracting "side topics." In the dome we don't need all that "idle chit chat". Why should we need it at home. (Very loyal fan and grumpy grandpa.)

This would be the greatest upset win in program history

The absolutely astonishing thing is, he's 800 times better now than he was his first couple years...and he's still awful however many years later, and he still has a job. Lol

Who was head of programming for ESPN back in 2008, they did this to us!!!!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Playing basketball tonight, hoping when I finish up we’ve got a stunning upset on our hands.

 

[Trueblue25]

Yeah I can’t stand myself for saying this but we have the mix of players to pull off an upset.

If we move the ball, we can do it.

Gah

Same. We don’t start until 7:30 so it’s possible I already know our fate. 9:30 finish will definitely know for sure unless they’re a couple OTs in.

 

[CuseFan]

And I'd root for The Monstars against Duke.

I'd always root for the Monstars!

 

[Orangezoo]

Here is a big question- does Red go to the lineup combos that worked last game quickly or revert back to his misguided security blanket and let JJ take 19 shots?? Winning is a different matter but as for competing for 40 minutes that decision looms large.

 

[phsyra]

kendrick perkins might be the worst ever...makes you want to change the channel

 

[phreddie]

You spelled dook wrong

That team had massive talent. I remember telling all my friends that we would win that game. They all laughed at me. DC, Seikaly, Sherm, etc ... Oh man I miss the 80s and 90s

 

[Cheriehoop]

We beat first place UNC in 2024 but at home in Red’s first year.
