[SoBeCuse]

Weak.

 

[Marsh01]

yipee

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Old news

 

[shandeezy7]

Just been made official now

 

[longtimefan]

Weak.

Texas and Iowa should both be better than decent next season.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Texas and Iowa should both be better than decent next season.

Yeah, they are both pretty good this year. From a name standpoint it doesn't ring loudly but you're right.

 

[jncuse]

Texas will be preseason top 10 next year. It should return it's top 9 scorers -- this year to year they are 1 Jr, 5 soph, 3 fr.

 

[Alsacs]

Texas will be good next year most of their team is Freshman/Sophomores and they have beasts in Ridley and Holmes.

Iowa/Cal will be NCAAs due to their coaches. If we play one of Iowa/Cal then Texas those are 2 good wins come next year's NCAA Tournament.

 

[Toga]

Is the Atlantis gig in 2015?

Yeah, but they don't count since they will be home games.

Is the Atlantis gig in 2015?

Yes.

 

[jncuse]

Iowa is a very deep team this year. It has 9 players,average over 6. Six of the 9 return and and will be upperclassmen. They do lose 2 starters and best player in marble.


Definitely top 25.

This clinches our suspicions. Cal is definitely stalking Syracuse.

I don't know why. Good academic school, good family, nice posture; she has a lot going for her. I hope she gets help soon.

Also glad to have a chance to hang at MSG again next season. Even with a creepy-psycho-ex-girlfriend-who-never-even-was-a-girlfriend hanging around again.

I'm glad we're Syracuse and get to be in the nice tournaments like Maui, 2k, Atlantis, etc.

I like the assumed wins.

 

[Alsacs]

You have to figure the semi-final matchups will be California vs. Texas, and Syracuse vs. Iowa.

 

[chlywtr]

Cal really is back in it

 

[smmCUSE]

Cal's got it bad...

 

[HoustonCuse]

Texas will be preseason top 10 next year. It should return it's top 9 scorers -- this year to year they are 1 Jr, 5 soph, 3 fr.

But after we beat them they will completely tank and by February the story line will be "Syracuse never plays anybody."

 

[Jasoncuse]

Why don't we ever play in one of those events against a Kentucky, Michigan St, Kansas, etc anymore?

Definitely top 25.

They aren't a top 25 team this year, but they'll be one next year without Marble?

 

[Frozen]

Why don't we ever play in one of those events against a Kentucky, Michigan St, Kansas, etc anymore?

I think it's just that there are a lot of these tournaments these days and the elite teams are spread around. The only tournaments that really have more than one heavy hitter are Maui and Atlantis and to a lesser extent, the NIT Tipoff.

Playing at MSG in November is more important than playing Kansas in the "Chico's Bail Bonds Classic" in Kansas City.
