9.5 is a big number

Over/under currently at 130.5

feels a bit low
Yeah...

definitely looks low. I’ll be taking the over.

Gamewatch at Iron Horse for sure?
CARRIER DOME!
I may have been the first person *ever* who was even mildly disappointed

to be told by their boss that they didn’t actually have to go to upstate NY in February

Thank you for reminding me
Yes

Drink specials details to be posted tomorrow

Hoyas all the way

Let’s do this Gtown!

F the Orange, I live up here and despise them and thier delusional fanbase.

Only one “championship with a rent a player” in JB’s 30 something years coaching here is laughable.

may you live to be 1000 years old
great reference, btw
I'm not a degenerate gambler

but I am friends with several… isn’t this a really high number, even for as good as Syracuse is? I mean I think there is a good chance they win but almost 10 points?! cmon

All those Syracuse #1 shirts have got to count for something

I mean, they’re not just a fashion statement.

ummm

so Kentucky is pretty good?

Ridiculous

Think about how insane they’d be if they all somehow stuck together for 3 years. Here’s a fun hypothetical, throw in a junior John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Demarcus Cousins, and a sophomore Brandon Knight.

The amount of talent that has come through that program in the last 3 years is terrifying.

Could that many UK players stay eligible for six semesters though?
so does our thundersnow tradition apply

when the Hoyas are on the road? DC may get a smattering

Hoya Vey's Key's to the Game

1) don’t fall in love with the 3. (remember when we were up 14-0 in 09?)
2) keep turnovers to a minimum.
3) slow the game down, and keep it low scoring.

also Cuse vulnerable to offensive rebounding

though I think turnovers are key. We commit less than 11, its a close game; anything more than that, we’re in trouble.

For what its worth, in the pre-game conferences, the players and the coach seemed to understand this.

awesome
