God, i hate Syracuse! Let's F'ing Go!

Has Syracuse ever played in Bloomington? Last time we played them was with Noah Vonlehs awful team and that was at Syracuse.

Nope    Played them in Maui twice, New Orleans for the championship, Madison square garden,  the sweet 16 game, and at Cuse.    Tonight will only be the second time IU has played there

IU is 1-5 against Cuse with the 1 being the most important one 

[Hovadipo]

Brandon Triche, MCW, and CJ Fair aren't walking through that door. Woody isn't scared of the 2-3 so neither am I. This Syracuse team stinks and we don't. Hoosiers by a lot.

I think this game could be like the 2011-2012 NC State one. That was the first time I felt that team could be something special. Need to win on the road in order to be a top 20ish team in college basketball. That starts tonight. I think it will be tough since I expect a decent crowd. However, IU wins by 5.

Ahhhh Syracuse. The team that stopped us from hanging #6. 

The team that made us look like fools in 2013.

 

Let's see how great our passing and shooting are tonight against the 2-3 Zone. 

I'll never forget Selection Sunday cussing because that was probably the worst matchup with our small guards. Had IU won that game I think they get to the final four but not sure they could beat Michigan a third time.

It still irritates me that Crean was running 4 hour practices in February. 

I haven't read that book in a while but I could tell the players are still bitter about it (as they should).

I like Tony. But he was rather generous with the "good possessions"

Parker Stewart or Kopp quick enough to guard Buddy Boeheim? That matchup is a bit troublesome

That Michigan for the title may be my all time favorite IU game.  I remember thinking that game proved how stupid Crean was for not making sure Cody touched the ball on every possession.

Parker Stewart was quick enough to guard Taevion Kinsey (who, by the way is currently projected as a 1st round draft pick next spring). He is definitely quick enough to guard Buddy Boeheim.

Just curious, a bit apprehensive about this game.

Me too!

Athleticism is not the determining factor when guarding some of the better two guards we'll face this year; Boeheim, Davison, Eli Brooks, Plummer on Illinois. Recognition, awareness, ability to navigate screens are far more important. Bates is arguably more athletic than Parker, but Parker seems far better equipped for the task.

I think you may be right -- def hope so -- I think we're pretty clearly the better team, but man it's the first road game and I don't like that football venue/arena. Definitely need to bring it tonight.

For once in what seems like a long while(against blue/purple blood teams) I believe we are the more athletic team in this matchup. Doesn’t equate to a win but we have that advantage in this matchup.

The ghosts of seasons past are still lingering in our collective heads. First true road game, so what? Tougher than playing at home but we have a bunch of players that have been through this before. Don't know if we win or lose, but I don't think anyone will be intimidated. CMW didn't seem overly concerned and, for the first time in a while, I like the other coaches on the bench.
