Both teams off to a somewhat shaky start.

Go CUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dwaechte]

Cuse rounding into shape nicely, playing well. Florida looks theyre not all on the same page yet, and I haven't seen any of their players apart from Calathes stand out yet.

[McRich]

I am on Florida -3. I watched Syracuse earlier this year and they did not look good. We shall see.

[Chi_archie]

Big East will be a force to be reckoned with during the Reg. season.... then they will fade in the tourney after they beat each other up during conf games..

[dwaechte]

Neither team showing a ton of intensity. Somewhat slow pace, but neither team really stepping up and gutting it out defensively to force bad shots.

the crowd is going crazy there!

Syracuse +2 and under 81.

[Chi_archie]

was gonna hit the under 2nd half... but couldn't pull the trigger...thoughts of OT and/or lots of foul shots in the last mins. kept jumping into my head..

[McRich]

Man, Florida can't make a shot. Plenty of attempts, but no finishes.

[wal66]

Florida not playing the tempo game just doesn't look right. This Shipman kid came in with alot of hype but as of yet he hasn't shown anything.

[TPowell]

did a lot of research and thought Florida would win, but they didnt shoot the 3 ball good enough

[EaglesPhan36]

Sweet win for my homies at Da 'Cuse. They had two actual good opponents scheduled outside of conference with Florida & Memphis. Even if they go 1-1, that's a solid RPI builder, I hope. Think maybe Jimmy B. got the message about playing the cupcakes finally going to two straight NITs.

[Chi_archie]

Big East!!!

[dwaechte]

Syracuse was the better team, period. Split on my 2nd half plays again for the 2nd straight time..

[TPowell]

I wouldn't say Syracuse is a better team, Florida shot the ball horribly from deep. What about that Big East though? Anybody wanna say it's not the best conference now????

[Chi_archie]

well Florida wasn't exactly coming off a great game shooting the 3-ball, against far inferior oppponents

[EaglesPhan36]

Florida was only shooting 32% from 3 coming in. So they barely shot under their average. Maybe they're just not a good 3 pt. shooting team this season.

going to the game friday?

I got nice floor seats!

[EaglesPhan36]

You SOB! Jealous. I'm stuck in Texas, so nada for me. Wish they'd play down here once in a great while. They better beat Virginia!

Looks like they will get Kansas tomorrow!

They can beat anybody when they hit their foul shots!

Look for me on TV. I'll be wearing a bright orange shirt in the 5th row!

[TPowell]

Florida shot the ball well in it's first 2 games but struggled badly against Utah State. They are a strong 3 point shooting team in my mind

The shirt color was a joke by the way!

That's true about the Utah State game. They seem inconsistent I guess is the real answer so far. Their first game is probably more of what they'll be - 37-38% perhaps.
