Looks like UConn 2nd half could be a nice play. I'm at work, not watching game, so don't know if Syr. is playing great D or if UConn just can't shoot, etc.

Seems like Cuse will be tired in 2nd half after playing yesterday and UConn will get it in gear and maybe even cover original line.

Syracuse a weird, weird team this year.

Any thoughts?

I was thinking the same thing, I have Syracuse for the game at +12 but keeping an eye on the game to see how the 2nd half could go.

Syracuse plays a 2-3 zone, so that sometimes throws teams off in the 1st half, but they play it pretty much exclusively so you would think it wouldn't suprise or throw off UCONN. As for tired Syracuse did play yesterday, but you don't get as tired playing zone as you do man-to-man

SYRACUSE PLAYS A ZONE??? WHEN DID THIS START???

LOL. Yeah, I think they went to that 2-3 zone in about 1983 and I don't think they've gotten out of it but maybe once or twice.

Boeheim thinks man-to-man is a junk defense.

But yeah, not as tired. UConn best team in nation, should make adjustments at half and win game. Just wondering what line would be, as Im sure several are thinking same as me.

Uconn will probably find a way to win,but this one is going down to the wire.
Syracuse wants this and Uconn looks like they dont care.They are a 1 seed.
