Love the Orange again. playing at MSG is a huge advantage. The crowd last night was rocking with orange fans and will be more so tonite.
Defensively the Orange are so tough with those long arms everywhere. I was impressed with Forth's toughness ( finally) and movement in the paint on defense last night. It was like he finally realized that it is OK to help his teammate out on defense and slide off his man.
Also noticed how much more comfortable Roberts, McCroskey, and Nichols looked on the floor. Last year they all had that deer in the headlights look most of the time. McCroskey's three pointer before half and Nichols two baskets to start 2nd half were huge in getting SU started last night.
Scary thing is the frwkin FT shooting. Even Gmac has missed a few already this year.
I look for the Orange to put another 2nd half run together and feed off the crowd for a comfortable win here.
