I feel bad for the 1 or 2 seed...

Yea. They are not capable of putting it together for a full 40 minutes.

They have no bench. Oriaki only played 17 minutes yesterday. And kemba walker is not walking through the doors.

UK Rolls over them.

Where would Syracuse be if JB was out for 10 games? Drummond, Lamb, Napire, Boatright. GUys, we our arguably the best team in the countrey, which I believe to be accurate and we have beaten them by 5 points the last two games? So Kentucky and UNC would drill them but we can't? Interesting.

Nobody and I mean nobody wants to play UCONN in the tournament, with a healthy Calhoun, they are probably a 5 seed.

They have talent, haven't really played great but they can put it together. They have two NBA first rounders and Boatright is streaky

UCONN should not make the tournament.

Best wins - Florida State, Harvard in Nov, Dec

Last 20 Games - 8-12 with 5 of those wins over Depaul x2, Pitt, Vill, Seton Hall...2 wins over WV who also should not make the tourney. That leave one quality win over Notre Dame.

They have done nothing. Propped up by computer numbers.

LOL. That's cold hard facts. Why play the games if execution doesn't matter.

Really, really want to see them as the 8/9 in UK or UNC's bracket. One thing UCONN has going with us is familiarity. Cuse/UCONN games are typically hyped up premier conference games. Genereally those games are close. I think whoever the 4th 1 seed is, has a good chance of getting UCONN in round 2, looks like maybe Kansas.

 

[EastCoast2]

If Kansas wins B12 and UNC wins ACC, who is the 3rd and 4th #1 seeds? Kansas on Cuse's side?

Should be KU, would be NC

More Data...

UCONN has not beaten a top 50 RPI team in 9 weeks (1/14 - ND #39). They have not beaten a top 25 rpi team since Nov 26th ( #22 FSU). Their only one.

This is why the RPI is flawed. A SOS of 3 makes them look decent.

Oh but they have talent. Big deal. If your a syracuse fan you should be mad because if the cuse name was on that resume we would be treated way differently.

While it is undeniable uconn has underachieved and shown signs of no heart, the facts are they are still one of the most talented teams in the country. Personally, and question my fan hood all you want, I will be openly rooting for uconn to knock of uk or unc. It would be great for the big east and would temporarily silence the incredibly arrogant fan bases of both schools. I think they would give unc major problems, IF THEY COME TO PLAY. Henson and Zeller would absolutely have their hands full with Drummond Oriakhi and Olander and I think Marshall would not be able to keep Napier or Boatright from getting in the lane.

I was looking on the basketball board at insidecarolina.com and on their Noel thread it's full of comments criticizing SU saying its down to unc or uk, why would he want to go to cuse, they're a mess of a program with 2 major scandals, they put no one in the nba, tons of pedophile jabs, etc. I would love to see them with egg on their faces.

Go take a look at some of the other teams currently projected in and what they have done...
