Beat Syracuse

[avid1010]

Boeheim is a dirtbag--never liked him--big time whiner.

Dirtbag?  Not sure what you mean by that, but if you don't like Boeheim, their aren't many coaches you can like.  He's not a saint, but far from a dirtbag IMO.

I think you can find much dirtier dirtbags than Boeheim. Like, maybe, this guy??

I think we need to petition the university (Syracuse) to revert to the "Saltine Warriors"

My comments regarding Cuse's lack of respect and arrogance stemmed from this guy. I'll always remember when he put his index finger to his mouth to quiet the crowd. He was good, but not good enough to do that.

Just becuz I was curious about whatever happened to Eric...

[quote On December 26, 2009, Devendorf signed with the Reno Bighorns of the NBDL. In his debut, Devendorf played 14:33 and scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting as the Bighorns defeated the Tulsa 66ers 102-87. On January 6, 2010, Devendorf was waived by the Bighorns.

On February 8, 2010, Devendorf signed with the Waikato Pistons of the New Zealand National Basketball League. He scored 49 points in his season debut.

Devendorf was released in April by the Pistons following an incident in which he was invlolved in a small bar conflict involving former Syracuse star Josh Pace. He was signed to NBL team Wellington Saints shortly after, and starts as point guard averaging 26.1 ppg.

Devendorf has signed on to play with the Melbourne Tigers in the next Australian National Basketball League season.

Wow, he's tearing the Kiwi league up!

Losing to them by 5 on the road last year was pretty impressive.  'Cuse seem to lose a lot every year and just reload.  They have another great class coming in. 

I don't really think they disrespect Marquette or feel like we have no business being in the Big East, but let's face it, we've been competitive in Big East and they've been dominant.  I would love to beat them.

Since MU joined the BE:

MU 54-32, 5 NCAA appearances
SU 52-34, 3 NCAA appearances, 1 Big East Reg. Season Title

Syracuse has had higher highs (last year obviously) and lower lows than MU.  I would hardly call them dominant in the Big East in comparison to Marquette since the Warriors joined the Big East.

Good knowledge. Those numbers really jump out at you.

Cuse's zone isn't the problem-----the problem is that we have given up 80 points/game in the 4 games we've played. Not going to beat anyone consistently when you give up 80 ppg.

A big part of the defense problem has been size differential.
