as promised, i've been taking it easy this week. just one play tonight, and it could be the worst play i've ever made in my life.
syracuse (+6.5) 2 units. i've been playing against syracuse all year, and doing pretty well. there is talent, but they don't play defense, nor do they play good team basketball. there is so much not to like here. however, i just think wv is in a bad position to take advantage of a tired team tonight. 1) the mountaineers are also playing their 3rd game in 3 nights, so they will be tired themselves. 2) they just played pitt, and that is always a physically demanding game. 3) that was a big win over their archrival. i simply don't know how focused wv will really be coming into this game. and the main reasons they've won the last two night are defense and offensive rebounding. if you're not focused, those are two areas that will slip.
