Syracuse students agree: Beating a team three times in a season is fun.
It's Tournament Time again. And Syracuse is facing NC State, a team they have beaten twice already this year. Will Syracuse blow it in that shithole Greensboro again, or can Syracuse advance to take on Virginia for a chance cement their likelihood to dance?
Buddy Boeheim has come alive in the last few weeks, averaging an even 21 points in his last five games. His shooting has helped spark Syracuse in their last two games. We talk a lot about having a go to guy on the team, and lately it has been either Buddy or Allen Griffin. The good news is Quincy Guerrier is 100% after knocking knees in a previous game. Additionally, the week of rest has seemed to do everyone some good as it sounds like the entire team is back at 100%. Syracuse did two things well against NC State in their two meetings. Shoot the 3 well, and get steals. Syracuse racked up 20 turnovers on NC State in their last meeting. They need to do that again. If Syracuse can get steals and keep pace with 3s in this one, this will be another win, close or not. If NC State gets Jericole Hellems going again, who torched Syracuse in Syracuse, and played well at home, Syracuse could be in for a long day. It's Tournament Time, so anything can happen. I do think Syracuse wins this one, but I'm more superstitious during March than any other time of the year. Therefore, I'm taking NC State by 5, but this is not real.
This game is available on The ACC Network at 12:00pm. John will be taking a long lunch. I'll have it on somewhere I'm sure. Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow and GO ORANGE!
