One week from today…

[Cusean]

We will be celebrating Syracuse’s top 5 ranking after a 3-0 showing in Vegas. Monmouth will have been an anomaly. 25k+ will be preparing to head to the Dome for the matchup against Tennessee. All will be right in the world! LET’S GO ORANGE!

A little Sunday afternoon sauce I see

I'll have what he's having.

I'll have what he's having.

Look as long as we don't get destroyed by both Houston and Kansas, keep it within 5 or 6 points and win the 3rd game, we have something good to look forward to.

Not good enough. We need to beat someone with a pulse.

If Donni isn't playing, we may go 0-3, depending on who we play Wednesday.

I miss the days 10 years ago when we used to think and say these things and meant it in reality.

 

[baggerbob]

Not good enough. We need to beat someone with a pulse.

As long as the defense is good all 3 games, this team will get better. My worry is if everyone isn't truly committed to team defense and Red doesn't sit those people, then the team is in trouble.

100%. This next week is our chance for sure. You can only beat the teams on the schedule as said.

Go Orange

Does that include George because people scream when he’s not on the floor.

Ah, so we're going with only Houston or Kansas would register as "someone with a pulse"

 

[cuseallday]

Enough about the games. Who is meeting me at 4 am for after-hours at Drai's? We gonna light up the strip.

 

[baggerbob]

As long as George isn't forced to be on the floor over 30 minutes every game he should be fine. Get Fennell some minutes at the point.

Anyone we play next week is better than anyone we’ve played up to this point.

Exactly. But your reply seemed to state that only beating houston and/or kansas would suffice

 

[hoopsupstate]

We have four games coming up that we have to be very competitive in. We need to win at least two of them.

 

[pearl31]

We need to win at least two of them.

Need for what? I mean I agree this coming week is significant, but if you're stating losses to Kansas, Houston and Tennessee would mean the season is over, you're mistaken.

Need a good non con win for the tournament unless you expect us to beat Duke Louisville and UNC each time we see them

I think we can beat Kansas. One, they aren't all that good and 2. they are playing short handed

i mean if that's not CHATBOT.. IDK. all numbers and no common sense.

Season may not be over but the mountain to climb to getting to the tourney will be much steeper and with far less room for error and thus at least becomes at a high risk if missing the mark and the program facing a complete reboot.

I count between 6-8 Quad 1 games in ACC play. Then these next 4. Make no mistake Duke, UNC and Louisville are more beatable than Houston.

Maybe. But I think too many people are mistakenly holding that view because they're convinced acc this year = acc last year

Hate to agree with this…but I do (except the spelling of Donnie’s name).

Before looking at any other aspects of the game….Houston likely will have a huge advantage in rebounding.
That affects a lot of points.
