[ak05lp]

Yes, thats huge.

[TurnTwo]

Craziest game I've ever seen.

[ak05lp]

This is awsome. If Paul Harris would finish

[OhioStateBuck]

If there is another over-time I'm going to end my life.

[OhioStateBuck]

This is awsome. If Paul Harris would finish

[Mr.Tuna10]

[TurnTwo]

I've been bouncing off the walls in my living room.

[fisher22]

Bring in jake presutti

[ak05lp]

Oh yeah, this is awsome

[ak05lp]

Not a bad game.

[fisher22]

best college bball game ever

[Mr.Tuna10]

Flynn was 16-16 in free throws. Now thats clutch

[ak05lp]

Not to bad

[bath#1]

Flynn was 16-16 in free throws. Now thats clutch

I think they said Harris only missed one out of his how many ever ft's

[ak05lp]

Yeah but 13 layups

[ProudestMonkey27]

Probably the best game ever... Whatever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayzGlxHoTkk

[DSport]

That was the single greatest basketball game Iv'e ever witnissed. I don't think Boeheim ever imagined that he'd win a game by :
1. Justin Thomas playing 10 minutes in overtime
2. Flynn logging an hour of playing time
3. SU hitting free throws
That was insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel bad for whoever went to bed.

[Rams15]

Or Paul Harris missing more lay ups than missed free throws. hahahaha

[hilly]

Syracuse should be nice and fresh for tomorrow after a 70 minute long game. Does ESPN Classic still do instant classics?

what the

[sectionvguy1]

Best Game I have seen in some time. It was worth staying up for it!

[jmr4616]

That was by far the most amazing game i have ever seen!

[Uconnfan50]

That game was absolutely insane! I would say that I'm mad the huskies lost, but I'm not. By the end of the third OT I didn't care who won, but I knew whoever did was well deserving.


Still bummed no one won on a buzzer beater. That would have been a story book ending!

[ProudestMonkey27]

Devo, made the difference in my oppinion. semi-quiet 20 something

[boobiemiles]

Devo, made the difference in my oppinion. semi-quiet 20 something
You are the only person who knows nothing.

[DSport]

How about Justin Thomas! 1 rebound and 1 block all at important times.
I still can't believe the free throws 40-51!

[jmr4616]

Jonny Flynn was the difference no doubt. when they needed a bucket he took it to the rim at will and knocked down EVERY SINGLE free throw. He was a man out there today and it was unbelievable. Without him the cuse lose period and if he wanted he coulda had 45-50 points tonight.

[boobiemiles]

Paul Harris also hit every free throw until the closing seconds.

[bcherry8]

Paul Harris also hit every free throw until the closing seconds.
How about his 22 rebounds? Pretty damn good for a guard.

[garnet21w]

How about his 22 rebounds? Pretty damn good for a guard.

how about missing 2 freebies under the rim during the end of the 3rd (?) overtime?

[ak05lp]

Onuaku cam threw in the end of the 4th making two HUGE free throws.

[coachstew]

I'm pretty sure I'm going it alone on this one. I hope Syracuse can't walk up and down the floor with the Mountaineers in the second half tonight. Mountaineers by 10!!!!!

[EaglePride]

I'm pretty sure I'm going it alone on this one. I hope Syracuse can't walk up and down the floor with the Mountaineers in the second half tonight. Mountaineers by 10!!!!!

You were the only one pulling for OT #7 I am sure.

[coachstew]

You were the only one pulling for OT #7 I am sure.

and 8, and 9, and 10. Honestly it was one of the better games I have ever watched through the fourth OT, when I couldn't take it anymore and went to bed.

Think of it this way guys even Boobie has a WVU player in his avatar. We have to win this one.

[DaddyBear]

That game was so wild that you could write a book on it. When it was over, I shut the TV off and ran to bed. It was so late that the UCLA game on the west coast was just ending. What a game!

[BBallBaller1492]

i think it accually finished before SU and Uconn :p

[DSport]

That game was so wild that you could write a book on it.

Whose perspective? Boeheim? Flynn? Harris? Thomas? It would be a great story from any of those views.

[Lukelakers]

i think it accually finished before SU and Uconn :p

actually there was about 2 minutes left in it

[quesadilla]

I think the fact that Paul Harris had 29 pts and 22 rebounds overshadows the fact that he missed some lay-ups. He was tired. And he has been the muscle behind Syracuse all year.

[OldSchool78]

Harris is a beast. To have 22 rebounds at 6'5" is just pure determination.

[GoCuse20]

Paul is not 6'5 He is probaly 6'3 maybe 6'4. I would lean more towards 6'3 though. I have met him in person I couldn't believe it myself when I realized that he wasn't that tall.

[quesadilla]

I met him too.

[boobiemiles]

how about missing 2 freebies under the rim during the end of the 3rd (?) overtime?
Freebies? They both were blocked.

[boobiemiles]

And I would say that most of the missed lay-ups were due to the fact that his legs were so tired and he wasn't getting near the lift that he was expecting.

[boobiemiles]

I met him too.

I think that's the picture that I took.

[kendallbench07]

yeah i met him too at camp and he's really not that tall. BUT he is a BEAST with all the muscles lol. Devendorfs actually pretty small too.

GREAT GAME LAST NIGHT! Has to be one of the best games i have ever seen, right up there with mcnamaras tourney in 06 and the OKST Tex. game 3OT with durant vs Bogans i believe. Biggest plays of the game....Onuakus free throws late in the 2nd half(didnt thin i would ever say that) and rautins 3 to tie it in the 3rd overtime. MVP of the game though, eassssssily flynn. I felt like i was watching Laureano play francis...wooooo guys im kidding daaaamn.

[BathRamsFan]

My buddy and I were texting back and forth all game and he has 3 kids as do I and It was just insanity! when the alarm clock goes off at 6 and you have to get 3 kids around WHY ARE YOU UP WATCHING THIS?? LOL Will be one of those games they talk about every year from here to eternity come BE tourney time! Johnny Flynn is the best PG in the nation! Hope he comes back next year!

[GoCuse20]

Ya man his cousin lived across the hall from me at the crappy GCC dorms he came down there for like 2 or 3 hours. He's a cool guy signed some stuff for us and what not.

Yeah, that game was boring, only one OT. lol

[soccerstud11]

All I have to say is Cuse has been playing great lately. The zone has been crazy good forcing lots of steals and their fast break when they get those steals is good. Flynn is an absolute beast playing all those minutes!

[boobiemiles]

Devendorf has been playing out of his mind lately.


They're on a 7 game win streak. Let's home we can continue this to a 14 game win streak haha.

[soccerstud11]

Another who has been playing well lately is Ogenaut. He has been doing all the dirty work lately. It doesn't help his stats but it has definately helped the team a lot!

They were the first team to win the tournament while playing 4 straight days a couple years ago. Let's see if they can also be the first team to win the tournament while playing 5 straight days.

[boobiemiles]

Onjeanet has been playing like that since the UConn game earlier in the year.

And they're still only playing 4 straight days. Just that they have played 35 extra minutes of ball in between.

[soccerstud11]

I thought they said that they would set history by being the first team to play all 5 days. Maybe Boeheim just said that because of all the extra overtimes. It will definately be interesting to see how Cuse will be affected by the fatigue. Flynn and Devendorf have played a ton of minutes!

Four games in four days has got to be exhausting.. but they sure have not shown it. You'd think the fatigue has got to be catching up with them by now. It said on ESPN that after the 6OT game, Flynn woke up at 6am and watched tape with a coach because he couldn't sleep. It also said that they players were woken throughout the night and hydrated. Harris has been playing incredible, 29pts and 22 rebounds in the 6OT game and Rautins has been making his dad proud for sure! Flynn and Devendorf have played so many minutes, but Flynn is tough, he had to play pretty much every minute of the game last year when they didn't have so much depth due to injury. But now, literally everyone is stepping up for The Orange. As a lifelong Syracuse fan, this has been an amazing four days and hopefully they will keep up the intensity tonight!
Let's Go Orange!

[boobiemiles]

You have to remember though that a lot of players these days have played in AAU tournaments where they play 2 or 3 games in a day then again the next day.

These are the top conditioned athletes in all of sports, and I doubt that they will let fatigue become a factor.

I agree. If it wasn't a factor last night it shouldn't be tonight and certainly not for the NCAA Tourney.

[ProudestMonkey27]

Devo has been the difference maker lately. He has played with so much heart and fire the past 10 games or so.
I like the 14 game win streak idea. I would settle for a 6 game streak to end the season.

[ProudestMonkey27]

I have heard a lot of talk about this being the best game in NCAA div 1 history. If not the best def one of the top three.
One game two days, amazing!

[coachstew]

You guys still want to fire Boeheim??

[DSport]

You guys still want to fire Boeheim??

As far as I'm concearned he has the job as long as he wants it. The only thing he does that really bothers me is the stall. I like the idea but sometimes when SU is playing good I wish they would continue to play that way instead of stall too early. But I'll take that because of all the good things he does.

[boobiemiles]

They said last night they were running the stall most of the game to try to get their rest on offense.

[DSport]

They said last night they were running the stall most of the game to try to get their rest on offense.

They could have done whatever they wanted last night after the previous performance. I'm talking about when SU is up 4 with 4 minutes to go and they stall despite the fact that they were playing well. Sometimes it seems they lose their momentum when they do that. I love Jimmy B. and hope he coaches forever, I was just stating the one thing that bugs me.

[coachstew]

They said last night they were running the stall most of the game to try to get their rest on offense.

the second half they did that. First half they went up and down and took it to the Mountaineers.

Four games in four days, with as many minutes as five games seemed to have had a factor. They were not the same team they have been in the second half yesterday.

[DSport]

I agree, and Louisville isn't exatly the type of team you want to face if you're tired. Skill level aside, the way they press and harrass ball handlers is hard to face when you're exhausted.

[boobiemiles]

But still it was only a 10 point game. If ul's shots weren't falling as hot as they were and if su could hit a layup it would have been a ball game. You always see them sulking like they were when things aren't going great. It's just the way that the team plays.

[m0rocco]

Thank you for not seeding SU 5th....good run in the Big East Tourny gets them a 3rd, I like it.

I agree that it could have gone differently. I really hope they play again this year. hint hint

[boobiemiles]

Haha that means national championship game.

[m0rocco]

I know Ben will know this....but any other Bandits fans on here by chance? Devendorf is exactly like Mark Steehuis. Everytime he scores a goal (which is very often) he goes to the first player he can find on the other team and talks trash to them. It's fricken hilarious.

I think Devendorf should stand on the rim if he hits the winning shot of the championship game.

[footballbasketball1110]

score predicitons for Syracuse vs Stephen F. Austin?

Syracuse by enough. For the record I think the Cuse got a good draw, and it could allow them to get to the final four.

i really hope so. their offense can pretty much score at will. i just hope their defense can pick it up. and i hate that we have NC in our bracket

[DSport]

i really hope so. their offense can pretty much score at will. i just hope their defense can pick it up. and i hate that we have NC in our bracket

I don't. The only downfall of that is that we know Louisville, UConn, and Pitt so much better but I can't wait to see the Lawson/Flynn match-up if it happens.
BTW-2003 SU=3 seed

[GoCuse20]

That Lawson Flynn matchup wow would that be great. Just letting everyone know last time Cuse was #3 seed what happend

[boobiemiles]

I love our bracket, but I think that unc is the one team with no real flaws.

[m0rocco]

Except for their womanly baby blue colored jerseys.

[OldSchool78]

I love our bracket, but I think that unc is the one team with no real flaws.


What did either Hily or Drew call Hansbrough? A psycho sexual predator? Somethinkg like that.

[gvcsjag2000]

Butler over UNC. There, no more Tar Heels. lol I think Syracuse can make a big run if they play well as they have been. They have big men, guards, shooters, and a decent bench. If they play to par, they'll definitely be a Final 4 and national champion threat. My friend's prediction for the championship game: Syracuse-Uconn, 7 ot's, Cuse' win by 3. Now, that would be something. Syracuse should win easy, but I definitely hope I see some good upsets.

[coachstew]

What did either Hily or Drew call Hansbrough? A psycho sexual predator? Somethinkg like that.


A what??

[boobiemiles]

I think that Pitt is the only team that can match up with unc. But if Syracuse gets the chance to play them I think they can play with them.

[TurnTwo]

I think that Pitt is the only team that can match up with unc. But if Syracuse gets the chance to play them I think they can play with them.

It all depends which Syracuse shows up.

[m0rocco]

It seems like everytime SU kicks tail in the Big East tourny they flame out in the tourny....I hope that doesn't happen this year.

Wasn't the last time they won the Big East tourny they lost to Vermont in the first round and it was like a 3 vs 14 or 4 vs 13 matchup

Lately they have been playing very good basketball though.

The zone is coming into form and the offense has been great.

I had Memphis beating UNC in the final. They have the defence to shut Hansbrough down.

[er#1fan]

you people with all this memphis talk are crazy no way they make it to the finals again

[boobiemiles]

you people with all this memphis talk are crazy no way they make it to the finals again
Why not? Have you seen their path? They have 3 very tough games where most teams have 4

[BF7]

Upset Alert: Wake Forest to Final Four

[boobiemiles]

That's a game I've been debating for a long time. I think teague has what it takes to beat the l'ville press

[er#1fan]

have you seen there season? im a memphis fan but no way they make it to the finals

[boobiemiles]

How's it any different from last year?

[BDevil09]

They have something to prove this year.

[er#1fan]

last year they won their tough non conference games this year the only two teams they have beaten in the tournament field are a 9 seed in tennessee and a 4 seed in gonzaga the 3 losses came to xavier, syracuse, and georgetown but hey pick them if you want i just cant compare them to last year plus they had 3 guys go pro last year

[BF7]

O and the Oklahoma Blake Griffins over UNC as well

[boobiemiles]

Yeah that's true... But that was before tyreke Evans was playing point guard. Calipari will admitt that they're a better team now than then.

[boobiemiles]

O and the Oklahoma Blake Griffins over UNC as well
Because their tremendous guards are going to handle ty lawson and Wayne Ellington?

[er#1fan]

yeah well i still dont like them to go that far and oklahoma over unc you must be out your mind

[BF7]

Because their tremendous guards are going to handle ty lawson and Wayne Ellington?

Yes UNC's guards are better, but Willie Warren and their PG aren't bad.
Blake Griffin is an Animal and I don't see anyone (excluding DaJuan Blair) stopping him.
Tyler Hansbrough can't handle Griffin.

[er#1fan]

thats cause you are in love with pittsburgh and i dont think hansborough would even guard him but uncs other players are so much better than his that it wouldnt even matter

[GoCuse20]

Oklahoma might get past the second round and won't get past the sweet 16
