Why so we can get blow out by 25 points?

Only 2 P4 games tonight lol

Maybe he thought he was sending a DM to UNC fans.

This one will be hard to watch. I guess I’ll check in from time to time and hope it’s not a total slaughter.

 

[NCo’range]

Because I despise these NC teams SO MUCH, this will just have to be one of those games that I will record and watch only if SU wins for health and safety reasons.
Good luck team.
GO SU!

This morning I saw that we were on ESPN, and normally would be so excited. Very very sad that my first thought was, oh crap - going to be embarrassed on national tv again.

We need to change this! Let's go Red! Fire them up! Change whatever you need to do! Go with the hot hands and don't just sub for the sake of subbing! WIN! WIN! WIN!

 

[Cusefan0307]

I actually think we can compete in this one as we match up well with them.

 

[Eric15]

Does that mean like, these are games for fans to keep an eye on due to potential upset alerts, or that they are literally the only games on TV?

Agreed, it's actually funny to me because I think this team so far for UNC is Hubert Davis best coaching job despite some of their fans displeasure. I actually think Syracuse is the more talented roster. I was surprised they were preseason ranked and they have lived up to that so far.

Caleb Wilson will foul out Sadiq in 5mins.

It's Big Monday, the Syracuse brand is still a huge draw to be involved in a stand alone Monday Night primetime matchup. Syracuse also gets Big Monday for Duke later this month as well as a Saturday afternoon ABC home game against North Carolina.

They are going to put JJ on Caleb Wilson like they did with Nate Ament.

 

[phil77]

Freeman or White start will be interesting

 

[MikeSU02]

Just don't want to be overwhelmed from the jump. If we can hang for the first half and have a puncher's chance in the second half, I'll be happy.

UNC is obviously better than us, but this isn't a disparity so large I'd say there is no shot in winning.

I think the headline is: “Syracuse at UNC; it’s basketball, I guess”

[Daveball]

With all the ups and downs this year I'm still going to be hopeful that we play with the defensive intensity we've shown we can do at times. I've believed in this brand so long that i can't change my ways now. Go Cuse!!

 

[Blanko97]

How much goodwill do we think a win tonight gets red?

 

[Brooky03]

Hopefully none

 

[Dcuse]

Hopefully none

Sweet post. Fires me up.

 

[Chicago44s]

Tourney or bust.

So, you're implying it'll come down to who wins the chess match between two stellar coaches?
