I TOLD YOU before the season started. Dig up the thread.

No disrespect to syracuse - quality team right there.

Please don't press us tomorrow.

If SU can control the temple, Loserville is going to have a tough time.

There is not a single time after a made basket luvul won't press. Not one. Defense baby, defense. They win by wearing the other team down.

Given how heavy their players' legs will be by the second half, I can't give the Orange much of a chance against the Cards.

Coach Pitino call off the press? Not gonna happen.

Heh, he'll bench a starter if they don't press on a single possession. Pretty impressive 2nd half by the cards last night, beating number 12 Villinova handily. I really think a lot of the big east teams are going to go far in the tournament. Syracuse really seems to be peaking at the right time after slumping some in regular season.

:thumbsup:
If Louisville pulls away, coach Pitino may give his starters a rest, but if the subs slack off on defense they'll find themselves back on the bench in a heartbeat.

One hour to tip off. My prediction:

CARDS - 68
CUSE - 63

I don't know if it will be that low, but cards D is going to be tough. If Orange wants to run and gun the Cards can do that as well, and like it. Louisville's biggest weakness is transition defense and I "think" Syracuse has a pretty good transition game.

 

[KLin]

10 minutes to go.

 

[dbk]

LOL Hypnotize!

 

[KLin]

Slow start so far for the Cardinal.

 

[KLin]

DEVENDORF AGAIN!!! :shocked:

 

[KLin]

What a bounce.

 

[KLin]

Uh oh, Syracuse can't get lazy with their passing.

 

[dbk]

The press is on!!

 

[KLin]

Jackson's on fire!

 

[KLin]

So why's flynn on the bench?

 

[KLin]

Press doesn't seem to be effective so far.
