Georgetown at Syracuse

[Tugg Speedman]

Overall, I'm pulling for Cuse because I think it helps our chances on Monday. But there's a lot of silver linings if Georgetown wins.

Since this is the last game between G/Cuse ... I think it should be epic.  I'm pulling for 7 OTs to set the record with everyone playing so hard that they puke on the court.

Porter is looking really good.

Dont wanna face Cuse coming off a loss, could be bad or good. I dont know either way. But I dont really want Gtown to lose...UGHHHH

Can't decide which result would help us more in the BE race.  The return match is in DC, GU has @UConn and @Nova still while SU has @MU, UL, @GU.  If I was supremely confident in a win tonight and Monday, I'd say SU winning this is better for us in the standings.  Either way, I think Porter's a lock for BE POY.  Kind of want GTown's momentum stopped, but can't stand SU and would like their home winning streak stopped.  Don't care about the faulty logic/superstition that SU losing today suddenly makes them a lock to beat us.

I'm always amazed at the # of people that show up in these terrible seats.

That mid court lower section looks like there are 50+ seats/row.  It looks like a lot of 'excuse me's on the way to the aisle.

How did CBS get this game? I thought ESPN had the Big East games....

CBS had last week's Pitt/MU game.

Yep. Just suit em up and play. Who cares who wins as long as we win. On Monday, the priors weeks results are history.

Pulling for GU ...

In the 30 year history of the Big East, I've hated no player more than Eric Devendorf.  Because of his existence I will root for Syracuse's opponent in all circumstances.

I'd say if you can stop Porter GU is beatable.

F'n Georgetown. They aren't going to lose another game the rest of the year. Best MU will be able to do is a tie for the BE title.

[muguru]

I guess on the plus side, with Cuse's loss and Colorado State's loss, MU now has the 2nd longest home court winning streak in the country. For whatever that's worth. No way Cuse is losing two in a row. Ugh!

[ecompt]

Cuse could definitely lose two in a row. Any team that stupid basketball-wise can lose two straight.

Not sure why you'd think that.  They've got @Uconn, @Nova, and SU again.  None of those 3 are certain wins.  Kenpom has them losing 2 of those.

Just like CBS has some of the new Big East deal. ESPN has most of it, but CBS is contributing a few million as well.  The conference sells those rights.

He's got his panties in a bunch this morning.
