Sometimes You Get A Banana, Sometimes You Get A Star

... Devils were in first place and going over a jump when the Orange used the bolt. ZAP. The Devils were suddenly off course and staring at the back of Jim Boeheim’s cart (not a euphemism.). The whole damn season has felt that way, really. As fans mentally prepare for the torture of Saturday’s game with Georgia Tech, it is kind of crazy that it even means anything all. Not many people, myself included, expected the Orange to pull out of its early-season tailspin. Not after the month of December that provided some of the worst Ls in recent Syracuse basketball history. This season, maybe more than most, has provided and proven a lot. And for those who have hung on all the way through, it might just pay off. You really can’t give up. Yes, we’re talking about college basketball here. Or maybe I mean Mario Kart. Or life. Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports. Back a few weeks ago, it seemed like the game changed, that this Syracuse team didn’t look like the others we all were so accustomed to watching. It didn’t play defense with the same intensity. It had an aversion to the fastbreak and to alley-oops. It was getting run out of the Dome by opponents that probably wouldn’t make the NIT. The ...

Losses By Houston, California Help Syracuse Basketball March 3

... Texas-Arlington 72, Louisiana-Monroe 57: Texas-Arlington, projected as a No. 12 seed, doesn't quite have the same resume as MTSU, but an at-large bid is still a remote possibility. The Sun Belt tournament begins next week. Friday's Games of Note. Evansville vs. Illinois State (1 p.m., ESPN 3) Syracuse fans are going to keep a sharp eye on the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. In today's first quarterfinal, Illinois State faces Evansville. Illinois State (25-5, 17-1) is projected as a No. 12 seed on Bracket Matrix. Syracuse fans will root against Illinois State because Wichita State has a stronger resume and sits on the other side of the MVC's bracket. Niagara at Monmouth (7 p.m., ESPN 3) No, Monmouth's resume doesn't look as good as it did last year when the Hawks were left out of the NCAA tournament. But could Monmouth generate some sympathy if it gets on a roll but loses in the Metro Atlantic's finals. Monmouth faces Niagara in the MAAC quarterfinals tonight. Bradley vs. Wichita ...

Syracuse Basketball Opens As 8.5-point Favorite Over Georgia Tech Make Your Prediction

... hopes, according to the website Vegas __link__. The game will tip at 4 p.m. in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets beat the Orange 71-65 just 13 days ago, but that game was played in Atlanta. Syracuse has been a different team in the Carrier Dome, turning in a 15-3 home record with three wins over ranked opponents. The Yellow Jackets are just 2-9 on the road. The previous game between the two included a questionable illegal screen call on Tyler Roberson, costing the Orange a key possession with 16 seconds left in a two-point game, as well as an unusually poor performance from SU's offensive lynchpin John Gillon. Georgia Tech (17-13, 8-9 ACC) deserves credit for at least some of that. The Yellow Jackets own the No. 5 defense in the country according to Ken Pomeroy's adjusted efficiency ratings and they troubled Syracuse (17-13, 9-8)  with a unique match-up zone. Ben Lammers, who ...

Providence 73, De Paul 64: The Friars kept their NCAA Tournament hopes alive and well, thank you, with this dismantling of De Paul. It's a game Providence should have won on its home court against an opponent that has won exactly two Big East games, but still.  Losing would have been disastrous. Georgia Tech 61, Pittsburgh 52: The Yellow Jackets rallied to outscore the Panthers 14-6 down the stretch after a Jamel Artis' 3-point play gave Pitt a momentary lead. Ben Lammers (remember him?) was terrific in the second half, when he scored 15 of his 20 points to lead Georgia Tech, which is aiming for a.500 record and chance to reach the NCAA Tournament with a win over Syracuse on Saturday and a sweep of the 2017 series. Kentucky 73, Vanderbilt 67: Vanderbilt squandered a 19-point lead at Kentucky in a game that would have ...
