I’d like to see coach start with a taller lineup v SU. A front court of Jamarko, Yurt7 and Alexander would fit the bill. I do appreciate what Mosley brings to the table but he should be coming off the bench as he can play 3 spots. Given the leadership Mosely brings to the table (particularly relative to Alexander), I see a 0% chance of this happening. And nor should it!

Just win. Beating the oranges last year would have put us on the bubble. Winning this year is the next step toward playing games that matter in March. We know what they will do -- gun from 3 and play zone d. We have a week to prepare. Let's get it done.

Planning to be there. Last game I saw in DC was Hoyas v SUcks in 2013 for the regular season championship. Hoyas crushed the Orange 61-39. Hope to see another whooping. GO HOYAS!!!

I should have checked: registrar.georgetown.edu/academic-calendar/maincampus/Finals run from Thursday, December 12 thru Monday, DEC 16... so maybe lots of kids will be there! Rah Rah Dear Old Georgetown... when last we met... you know.... There goes old... Georgetown, Straight for a... touchdown Rebound! See how they... gain ground, Lie down forever, lie down, Lie down forever, lie down.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Hurrah for Georgetown, Cheer for victory today. 'Ere the sun has sunk to rest, In the cradle of the West, In the clouds will proudly float The Blue and Gray.

Student here. Finals go until Dec 20. Decent buzz on campus for the game. Students without season tickets can get tickets to the Cuse game for $35.

This is their Superbowl this year. If we come out focused and ready to play from the start, we win. If we come out like they aren't that good this year and we can toy with them, we will lose. This is Syracuse! Take no chances or prisoners!!

The next test for this team will he playing a close game in the final minutes of the 2nd half. For better or worse, James ball handling and FT shooting were big assets that will be tough to replace. Given the last two Syracuse endings, I expect we’ll be in a similar position late.

Need to pray for Allen to somehow stay out of foul trouble the rest of the season.

Wish Pops could be at this game. He would love it and be our lucky charm. Does anyone know how he is doing?

Going to need Pickett/Alexander to do some damage in the middle of that zone. Allen and Mosely are going to have to knock down some jumpers also.

Allen was pretty good handling the Duke zone in the NCAA T. I’m sure he’ll be fine vs this year’s Syracuse one. I want to see Omer step out to the perimeter and see how Syracuse follows/covers him.
