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...

Final score 81 - 77

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


Beat the damn Floridians!

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.... :lol: :P
