    Redardless of how they won it's a good win. you need W's this time of year and it would have been disastrous if they fell to a struggling GU team at home blowing a big late lead. They showed some mental toughness coming back in OT.

    Re: Orange Basketball

    Just for reference, I'm pretty sure USF only got into the Big East in the past 4 years or so, so that's why they've never been ranked. Yes, that's an interesting stat, but I'm not sure that proves anything.

    Either way, I agree that yesterday was a must win, and I'm happy they pulled it off. I always said I wanted to be at an OT game....but not like that.

    I still can't believe Syracuse survived, they really deserved to lose, they played terrible, horrible coaching leaving Onoaku (sp) on the floor so long. Luckily when Wright fouled out GTown had no one else who can shoot beyound 10 ft.

    They didn't play terrible until 10 minutes left in the 2nd half. They came out of the half on fire, that's when they pulled away. They really should have switched to man defense in the last few minutes, because Georgetown really only had one 3 point shooter. I wouldn't say SU deserved to lose, but they certainly couldn't really blame it on anyone but themselves.

    and cj, PS, it's Onuaku, just for your future reference

    Leaving Onuaku on the floor so long? He had 15 points and 13 rebounds, he was our main rebounder and one of our biggest interior defensive presences...Kristof was ejected (BS) early on, and we had no one else to play down low...and Onuaku STILL came out on every dead ball, because we know he cant shoot FT's. How did he stay in too long?

    There is always the BE Tourney. SU had a surprise run a few years ago. ND has the talent, for whatever reason it hasn't worked this year.

    SU is lucky they had a couple of good non-conf wins or they'd be out of the Tourney right now. As it is they are playing their way on the bubble. Lucky for them they get SJU, Cincy and RU the next 3 games but if they slipped up in any of them it could get dangerous come selection Sunday.

    You're right. Losing by 3 on a missed buzzer beater to the number 12 team in the country and a team who is 10-4 in the Big East is really playing on the bubble...

    O, and they're really LUCKY to have those good non-conference wins. What luck to have totally randomly picked up those wins.

    SU has won 3 of their last 10 games, if you want to ignore reality go ahead but they better take care of business against this weak sched they have coming up or they are in danger of missing the Tourney AGAIN.

    Yes, SU is lucky thoise big name teams they beat play in weak conf's. Memphis and KU weren't even ranked heading into conf play and now they can't lose b/c they don't play anyone so it makes those decent wins look alot better than they actually were.

    Kansas...doesn't play anyone?

    Anyway, Syracuse would be in danger of missing the tourney again, but the bubble is atrocious this season.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    The Big 12 stinks this year. Kansas wasn't ranked when conf play began, not only did they lose to SU in KC but also lost UMass at home and got blown out by Arizona. The only good teams they have played in the Big 12 so far are Mizzou and OU- they lost to Mizzou and got luxcky that Blake Griffin wasn't playing for OU.

    Congrats SU fans, nice end to the reg season. A nice showing in the BE Tourney and you'll have a very good seed for the NCAAs.

    18 Big East games and we peaked in our 18th. Right now this team is looking at a #6 seed or so...we'll have to play UConn in our second BE game, but this is probably the best time to play them after Pitt knocked them around.
