LedZeppfan77 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Anybody see that SU is number two in the nation? 11-0!!! Maybe this will be their year like back in 03? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 They have some good, young talent. Long arms to help extend that 2-3 zone. They just need consistent scorers. CJ Fair can't do all the scoring. Cooney is their big 3-point threat. The Freshman point guard looks great so far....but the kid I like the best is Jeremy Grant. He's the nephew of Horace Grant and has been very dynamic off the bench so far this season. They have all the parts and pieces to go far, looking forward to seeing how they match up against Duke, when they play in February! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 SU takes down Pittsburgh. Can you believe Tyler Ennis? I mean, the Orange guy, not the Sabres guy who is pretty good too. Syracuse is 18-0 baby!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well Syracuse is number 1 in the nation and there is no disputing it now. Az lost and we beat Duke. How Duke ever hit that tying shot at the buzzer to force OT is beyond my comprehension. Talk about giving 30,000 people a heart attack. The guy hit the shot from far beyond the top of the circle and with a guy draped all over him. It was a prayer of a shot. Whish. In it went. SU had the upper hand as a couple of their stars had fouled out. They are number 17. So just imagine what is in between to have to deal with. The Tourney this year may be a real war. But fot now, the Orange are NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I just found out about Arizona losing! Yes, SU will be #1. However, they play Notre Dame tonight and if I'm not mistaken the last time the Orange was #1 they lost to ND - at ND. We shall see. They still have road games at Pitt, Virginia, FSU, and Duke. They will lose 1 or 2 of those games, IMO. I would feel better about the NCAA tourney if they did lose a couple before it begins. At this point that's all they are really playing for - the National Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point that's all they are really playing for - the National Championship. I know what you are saying. Going in unbeaten would give everyone the old feeling, they are due to lose. The law of averages will do us in. At Duke will be a pure bitch. I do not believe they will lose tonight. They are 15 pt favs I think and this ND team is not as good as that one that upset us are they? But a letdown is possible after an emotional win on national TV. Still, they may be too darn good for ND. My daughter and uncle both graduated from Syracuse. I always loved Notre Dame as a kid growing up. Wanted to go there but did not have the scratch. SU can win the tournament this year I feel. I have not seen alot of the other top teams however. I would say they are a cinch for the sweet 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Syracuse squeaked by ND....61-55. Hard fought - thank god for Cooney, 32 points - 9 3-pointers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Syracuse squeaked by ND....61-55. Hard fought - thank god for Cooney, 32 points - 9 3-pointers! Probably a bit of a let down after the big win over Duke. A little bit of over confidence no doubt. But they were focused enough to not blow it. I would guess its on the road next? They could lose one or two and keep the top ranking if the other top contenders lose a couple. But in the end, the NCAA tourney is the tell all.

Walter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Another game, another crazy win. SU 56 NC State 55 after a number of great defensive plays in the last 2 minutes.

Next up: Wednesday night vs. Boston College This Saturday night, the rematch @ Duke, 7 pm. At Duke is going to be a BITCH. No way can we win if we play like we did vs the last two. Its simply a miracle they won the last two. I still would rather go into the tournament with a loss than unbeaten. You know why I am sure. The old law of averages. I think it will take an incredible game to escape Duke with a win. Its very hard to beat a team two times in a row in any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
