UMass vs Syracuse

[Col Hogan]

The Minutemen travel to Syracuse tonight for the next NIT match against the Orange...

UMass has already beaten Syracuse once this season...107 - 100 back on November 28th...

Both teams have lost key players since that time, forcing both to change their style of play...that means you really can't go back and compare the first game and draw conclusions for this match...

Syracuse lost a shooter and has gone to a more physical, post game...

UMass lost Tony Gaffney, meaning they will be a smaller, quicker team...

It will be a good game...on ESPN at 7pm EDT...

[Col Hogan]

Down at one point by 22 points, UMass comes back and defeats Syracuse in the Carrier Dome...

Final score 81 - 77

Next stop...Madison Square Garden and the semi-finals of the NIT!!!!!!

Florida beat Arizona State for the other side of this bracket...

So it's UMass vs Florida on April 1st...

Let's see...a guy with a gun versus a gator.....

I was hoping ASU would beat the ga-turds, and face ya, but not to be.


Beat the damn Floridians!

Let's see...a guy with a gun versus a gator.....

Except that the gun in question is a musket. If the guy misses, the 20+ seconds of reload time is more than enough for the Gator to work his magic.

True...we have to be good aims, then...

Just hope these Gators are in a mood for some running....Syracuse was some tired puppies by the end of last night's game....
