SU's defense has come to play again.  
BlackLight : 3/18/2018 3:13 pm : link
MSU has 7 points in 8 minutes - Good start to the game for Cuse. Not sure if it'll hold, or if the offense will manage enough to put them over the top.
Purdue hangs on for the win!!

MSU's rebounding

is really hurting Cuse. They're just ahead on volume right now.
Okay, that......THAT

was probably the equivalent of Aaron Rodgers hitting that Hail Mary on us at the gun before halftime.

When that happens, you sorta get the feeling this isn't going to be your day.
Amazing play

Yup. Starting point guard out. Foul trouble all over the place. Can't get an offensive rebound. There's no good reason they should win this game.
Holy cow

This might actually happen. Can they induct Boeheim into the HOF twice?

Yeah, I agree. I think I'll be closer than when they played in the regular season, but I have a hard time seeing them pulling this out.

Still, three wins in five days, holding another team to 30 points under their average. Just amazing.

Duke's shooting usually destroys zone teams too. Best way to play Duke is tough man defense and force their PG (Duval) to make plays

51-30. Shot 24 more FG attempts. 29 more 3s.

And lost.
Cuse  
WillVAB : 3/18/2018 5:39 pm : link
Please beat Duke.

I watched the game at Cameron and Cuse d was tough. If Cuse hits shots they have a chance.
Amazing performance by Cuse

I agree. I’m the biggest Cuse homer on the planet but Duke is just a terrible matchup. Duke destroyed them once already this season and have much more talent. Plus they are playing zone much more now and Syracuse can’t shoot for shit.

All that said, go Cuse! The underdog roll has suited us well over the years so we shall see what happens.
Beating Duke is going to be a heavy lift

Heels are in a ton of trouble.

Eh. It's been a great run. It couldn't last forever.
Duke..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 3/18/2018 6:35 pm : link
would have to have as bad of a shooting night as MSU did- Almost impossible that will happen.

But the zone is magic in the Tourney.

Shitty to see Berry and Pinson go out like this. They just xant throw it in the kcean, very dependent on the three and they have misse dwht, 25 of them? Recipe for a game like this

Nothing like UVa's loss yesterday, but still a huge upset. Two massive losses for the ACC.

Watching deputy dog defeated on the bench kind of makes up for it.

Kyle in NY : 3/18/2018 7:36 pm : link
But man he’s had some brutal early losses lately and he seems to get a pass. Two lottery picks on his team and multiple other draft picks, playing in their own back yard and they can barely break 50. Did they not expect to see zone from Syracuse?? Lol

Brutal, and this is with the 2/15 loss just two years prior, still the biggest first round upset I’ve ever seen, even after this tournament

That’s a bit much, no? The ACC already has 3 teams in the sweet 16, assuming Clemson holds on to their 35 point lead, and Florida State still has yet to play.

Fair point - just watching the top 2 teams in the conference outed early in embarrassing fashion is a bad look.
History made!
