[> Subject: Re: Syracuse Tonight Author: Bison137 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:59:30 11/22/05 Tue HUGE win for the Bison!!! Although it will not get they hype of the Kansas win since it comes in December rather than the NCAA tournament, in a way it was a tougher one - having to play in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse was coming off of a close NIT Final loss to Florida after beating Texas Tech and Bobby Knight by 35 points, so they are not exactly a pushover. Looking at the box score, it looks like all of the "big four" had big games. McNaughton with double figures in rebounds, Bettencourt with a great shooting night and clutch FT shooting, Lee with his usual superb all-around game, and Badmus apparently playing well. There apparently had been some concern about Badmus' health (?) but he turned in another solid performance under pressure - 4 steals, 3 assists, and only 1 turnover against what I would assume was a fair amount of pressure. Some solid performances by the others as well. One big stat: 18 for 21 from the line, led by Bettencourt and Lee. Did anyone listen to the game? (or better yet actually see it??)

[> [> Subject: Re: Syracuse Tonight Author: eric... [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:25:34 11/22/05 Tue i listened. what impressed me most is that when syracuse went on a run late in the first half and another early in the second, the bison weathered the storm... on the road... against a very talented team... in front of nearly 20000 fans. the team played maybe two bad minutes the entire game (at the end of the first half). and though syracuse didnt bring its 'a' game, we didnt, either. we just made shots when we needed them. broke the press. hit our free throws. forced them to execute on offense. we did all the things a veteran team should do. and tonight, it paid off. huge win.

[> [> Subject: Re: Syracuse Tonight Author: Mike [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:47:29 11/23/05 Wed I listened to the second half of the game on www.sportsjuice.com. Very impressive victory. The Bison played very disciplined basketball and were tough on defense. The team has the right mix of outside shooting and inside power. With a year of "big time" experience under their belts, the team will not be taken lightly in the future. A great schedule over the next month with Niagara, Depaul and Villanova (at home). Should be interesting.
