Over 35,000 in attendance.

Over 35,000 in attendance.

Holy F***! 

Should MU build a bigger stadium than the BMO?

[honkytonk]

cheapest ticket was $40 face - upper deck and 120 yards away

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Someone tell me who I should be rooting for; I'm leaning GTown bc of the Cath 7 but does it do more for MU if GTown loses today and MU can beat the Orange on Monday

[TallTitan34]

Syracuse up 6-4 seven and a half minutes into the game.

[JD]

For some reason i'm having a hard time to cheer for G-town.

I want Cuse to win, and praying we beat them on Monday.  That would look awesome on the Resume'

[TallTitan34]

I think it depends if you think we can beat Syracuse or not.

[JD]

12-4 cuse.

[TallTitan34]

Hopefully they don't play like this on Monday.

Hopefully they don't play like this on Monday.

True,  is it me, or does Cuse look really tall and lengthy?

Maybe it's the great picture on my computer....

Syracuse so when we play them Monday they are top 5. Help the RPI and will get more publicity. Get more students to the game if its a top 5 opponent.

Probably a thread on this after NOVA game, but there may be some serious matchup defensive problems against the CUSE.  They are long, lean, athletic and right now are just jacking up threes like crazy, though lots of misses.  

Who the heck guards Carter-Williams.

Will that really matter? Most students have already decided whether they are going or not...

top 5? how many top 5 teams lost this week? miami and who else? I doubt su moves up much, if at all, should they win.

Syracuse academics at their finest, how does Fair sit on the floor with the ball for 5 seconds and still turn it over?  Call. a. timeout.

Their zone scares me.  Van and De'De' need monster games.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

The fact that this game can draw 35k should make Cuse' AD ashamed...

This post scares me ... Nova beat Louisville and Syracuse in the same week.  Lets win later today before we start this talk.

I already predicted a nova win by 6 points, and said they'd win about 2 months ago.

I hope i eat crow later.

Its not like Duke at Cuse wont throw up some crazy attendance numbers...

[Nukem2]

That block by Carter-Willims was a real game changer...!

looked exactly like the block waiters made on djo the last time we played there. game changing play that time too

Pros to Cuse winning:

Better chance for MU winning on Monday (if Cuse loses they probably will be more than ready for us, dont expect them to drop 2 straight); Cuse will be a higer-ranked opponent for us on Monday (probably 6, 7, or 8 vs. a 11, 12 or 13 if they lose). we will control our destiny for the Big East championship (beat Cuse Monday and we are all alone in first)

Pros to G-town winning:

Helps our RPI (because we played them twice, we will only play Cuse once); ; victory for a fellow C7 member that probably propels them into the top 10; helps the chance of MU-G-town finishing 1-2 in the Big East.


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.

3 of the top 5 lost this week. Miami, Michigan State, and Florida. With a victory over a borderline top 10 team I would think Syracuse would move up a spot or 2.

Assuming MU beats Nova, be much better for MU if Cuse wins this game. For a variety of reasons.
