Congratulations Syracuse !!!

[welshTerrier2]

Last week in regular conference play, U Conn totally destroyed Syracuse by 18 points ... Syracuse was never in the game ... it seemed like last night's rematch in the Big East semi-final game could only promise more of the same ... and yet, Syracuse beat U Conn last night to advance to the finals of the Big East tournament against West Virginia ...

U Conn came pretty close to making an incredible comeback ... at one point i believe they were down by 22 points and closed the gap to 4 by the end of the game ... i don't know what it is about Boeheim coached teams but they've always lacked a "put 'em away" instinct ... they seem unable to maintain their intensity when they are playing well ...

so tonight, the Cinderella West Virginians take on Syracuse ... i would expect Syracuse to be a heavy favorite but, on the other hand, that's what Cinderella teams are all about ...

So, who ya picking ???

1. Gotta go with my Orange!!!

The key is if McNamara can find his outside shot. That will open it up for Warrick inside and make it all kinds of bad for West Virginia. Syracuse has to be strong on the boards too...a traditional weakness.

2. Congrats to the team with the coolest mascot ever

Has anyone ever played NCAA Football 2005 where you can make a team look like their mascots; it was interesting playing with a team of round orange freaks :P

3. Would be kinda hard to bet against Syracuse.

After they beat up on my huskies like that. =(

4. My Huskies weren't good enough last night

Very tough to get 3 in a row by Mr. Boeheim. A season sweep is hard enough.

Props to the Orange. Now on to the Big Dance.

Go UConn!!
