[FloridaFan]

Is this good? Bad? Is Penn State legit? I don’t watch it that seriously so idk what our shot is.

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

[rrlbees]

[SkyTopBus44]

Can’t wait to see Nick Mellen lock up Pat Spencer

 

[orange79]

We either play the last 1st round game, or the first.

 

[rrlbees]

so why is hopkins in? great sos but the beat none of them. they're only wins over the field was 2x vs bubble team Maryland. their tough schedule got them an 0-6 record vs the rest of the field.

Let’s win Saturday first we got a shot all you can ask. We should fear no one with our schedule especially penn state

 

[longtimefan]

Where's Cornell ??

On a hill in Ithaca.

 

[ClvrUsrnm]

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but has Syracuse ever played Penn State before?

Penn State has never won an NCAA tournament game. Ever. That is unbelievable.

Hopkins made it because they beat Maryland twice in less then a week. Marylands down from the last 5-6 years but there considered the dynasty team of this decade so that carries huge weight. 2nd reason they got in is because of the "Hopkins" name. If there remotely close their getting in.

Couldn't believe some like laxbytes had them in over SU at some ludicrous % like 86%. It was clear it was likely coming down to Maryland or Cornell. Tried to make the point multiple times, SU was never getting left out with 5 top 20 wins.

Maryland is a bubble team. what about the 0-6?

Used to be a big rivalry, back in the day. I think it may have ended in the '80's, but I would guess there were 50+ games in the rivalry.

Cuse is 46-12-1
First game in 1916 (4-1 PSU)
Last game in 1986 (18-8 Cuse)

One problem with the bracket--the slotting of Yale and Penn. They're set to play in the quarterfinals, which would be their 3rd meeting of the season, and second in two weeks. One of them should have been moved to the other side.

Lets roll kids. I think Loyola is a good match up for us. I like it. Win that then keep the State Pen streak of no wins alive. We can do this.
