Title: Who has a better chance against 'Cuse?
Post by: Skatastrophy on March 17, 2011, 09:37:37 AM
X or MU?

We beat 'Cuse once this year at the BC, but with coach Boeheim at his sister in-law's funeral.

X hasn't played anybody as good as Syracuse all year. 

Who has a better chance of advancing to the Sweet 16 by going through Syracuse?  Can we beat them a 2nd time on a neutral court?  Does X match up with them better than we do?

I thought it was Calhoun that wasn't at the UCONN game at Marquette for that reason. I am pretty sure Boeheim was there for our game...

Being biased, of course we have a better chance of beating Syracuse. But one game at a time.

We have a better chance because we know them.  Then again, they know us but they don't know XU.  So it works both ways.  We beat Syracuse when they were in a funk and on a 4 game losing streak.  I believe they are playing their best basketball now.

Whoever wins tomorrow has the best chance.

Seriously. What a stupid question. Why has this board gotten collectively dumber?

... so it's stupid to ask who matches up better against 'Cuse?  Your answer is that instead of thinking about it you'll quote the asinine response to the question and call the rest of the board 'dumber?'

Thanks for contributing so much to the forum, pal... and for reminding me why I have you on ignore.

You should be asking who has the better chance to beat Indiana State!  ;D Seriously, MU is way over due for some good Mojo in the NCAA tourney.
