I wonder how Syracuse fans would take losing 3 games in a row to UCONN, Georgetown, and St. John's

Alright. Let's go 4-0. One more week of cheering for BE brethren, before I start hating everyone not wearing "Creighton" across their chest (and all their fans ).

I don't think you will have to wonder too much. Amar is out and so is Mussini now (infection) for tonight (2 of the major reasons why we beat them last year). The game might be over at halftime if we didn't learn anything from PSU. FYI, if you live in the NYC metro area like me, the game is blacked out on ESPN3. If you don't have the ACC network, you can't see it (unless you find a shady streaming service which gives you viruses). This was a game I had circled before the season started. If we were 7-4 or 8-3 like we should have been by now, the build up to this game would have been pretty big. IMO no way Cuse can lose to us 3x in a row including twice in a row at home after losing 4 in a row to G'Town. Last year we didn't miss all game and they were ice cold (Cooney was red hot coming into the game). They will be looking for revenge. Let's just get this over with and move on to Big East play.

Cuse: 90
SJ: 71

They won't have to worry about this.

Isn't that what they said last year? Raining down 3's is a good way to beat a zone.

Ha, you really think we'll get a W here?

Mussina is out with an infection.

Would be ideal for Ahmed to catch the ball at the foul line, and drive to the hoop again Cuses zone, but probably won't happen.

SJU 63
Cuse 92

Hope I'm wrong, but they want payback

Syracuse is gonna play pissed off, and nothing to date has shown me that this St. John's squad is gonna be able to face a hostile road environment.

I could see St. John's Winning. Lydon is their only player and he's out with an injury suffered in their last game.
