Agreed. Syracuse is virtually a home team in this game combined with the fact that they historically fair very well in preseason tournaments. MSU will have to play flawless to keep this one tight. This SU team is out for the TITLE, Warrick is virtually unstoppable, and when stud PG Edelin eventually returns this team will be virtually unstoppable. They will be fine for this game w/o Edelin who missed the whole second half of last season. Look for McNamara to simply light it up on National TV in the Garden the guy is the BIGGEST BIG GAME PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY. His resume includes dominating the State of Penn High School state touney in route to a championship, dropping 6 three's in the first half to get SU off to the best start and first half of basketball I have ever witnessed in route to the NCAA championship, and also dropping in something like 44 points in the first round of the NCAA last year against BYU single handedly winning the game and leading the Orange to the sweet sixteen. And he is only a Junior :scared
