Syracuse at Connecticut

Syracuse faces a tough match up in the game they play today against Connecticut, but no matter how tough the game is, Syracuse knows they have to win or they will not be in the big dance this year. UCONN on the other hand has all but locked up a #1 bid in one of the 4 areas of the bracket. G. McNamara is a wonderful player who leaves everything on the floor and that was seen last night as "willed" his team to a win by making a last second 3 point shot from the top of the key. Look for him to continue with his leadership and wonderful outside shooting to keep this game close until the end. An upset would all but lock up a seat for Syracuse in the big dance so they are going to leave everything they have on the court. UCONN on the other hand does not want to get any injuries before the tourney so they will not be diving for loose balls and the starters my find themselves on the bench near the end of this game. On a neutral floor this year, Syracuse is actually outscoring UCONN 78-74ppg and giving up almost 6ppg less. Look for this to be a better game than the average person may feel and the Orangemen to give UCONN a run for their money. Take the 12 points with the team that has more on the line in this game. Three stars on the Cuse.
