Here is a little writeup for you guys- if anyone cares... As you know I am a big Syracuse fan and have been following them many years now..
This game is going to be so far the hardest for Cuse to overcome this season. They are a very young team and at times inexperienced. Uconn has a lot of talent and has been very impressive this year..
One of the strongest plays for UCONN was supposed to be Rudy Gay- and to tell you the truth- he has not been as productive as UCONN wanted him to be. I know that he is the leading scorer w/ 15 ppg, however Anderson is putting up 14.5 ppg and only playing around 20 minutes a game. Their are a lot of players on UCONN who can put up a good amount of points per game- they average as a team over 83 ppg and hitting over 45% from the floor.
The leader for Syracuse this year - Gerry McNamera has just not been that good. He is very inconsistent and is having a lot of trouble w/ his shooting this year. In his last game however he shot 5 for 9 behind the arc and had 29 points! He HAS to do that tonight if Cuse want's a shot at beating UCONN tonight. Syraucse has done a great job w/ rebounding this year and has out rebounded most other teams they have faced. They also have a great defense with their 2-3 Zone and hold oppenets to scoring a lot of points. 2 other key players to look at are Nichols who is shooting around 15 ppg. and Roberts who has 11 ppg and over 8 rebounds a game. Both these players need to step up, get the boards and have a great shooting day from the field to beat UCONN tonight.
Is it possible? Yes I think Cuse is can do it, however they can not get to far behind in this game- they need to keep pace with UCONN tonight! This is the biggest test for Syracuse and if they can pull this one off- it will be huge for CUSE!
If anyone is playing this game- I see the line reaching 3 by gametime- I know a lot of people are going to be on UCONN tonight. As many of you know I do not play Syracuse games hardley ever because it would be a bit bias :P- I just wanted to share some info to you guys.
Well lets hope for a great game on Big Monday- LETS GO CUSE!!!!!
