Syracure vs Middle Tenn. $$$game

syracuse isn;t that good. they're not deep and can't shoot or score. but mtsu is a team they should handle. this game could go down like the beatdown they put on ND a month ago.

This is not the run of the mill 2-3 zone. They suffocate 3-pt shooters forcing you to shoot beyond the arc or take very contested shots. You need to be able to penetrate it and have a solid interior game to beat them. One reason some ACC teams had success against them this year is just because they had the talent to do so. I don't think MTSU does. They'll come back to reality. Might be a Cuse blowout.

I live in Syracuse and I agree, the cuse isn't that good. I also agree that a team who has 1 day to prepare will struggle against the 2-3 zone. I'm a firm believer that the point spread tells a story, and the story this line is telling is that Syracuse wins.

listen, Upshaw is the key to the victory. to break a zone like cuse's you need a skilled post player who flashes to top of the key/inside the lane and has the ability to dish the ball/shoot/drive to the basket. upshaw's shot lacks a little consistency but he thrives on these scenarios otherwise.he doesn't panic and will distribute accordingly. potts ans co will need to make shots, but they won't be overwhelmed by the zone

Vegas loves MTSU this year lmao. Cleaned up on the MSU and will clean up 2x as much with everyone thinking they have a repeat performance.

they can play in the 50's or the 80's

POD midtenn st +6

Cuse is a 10 seed cause Jimmy B had to sit for those games, resulting in 4 more losses.  They are an very underestimated 10 seed.

I am not betting this game but I really think cuse will dominate this game inside. If cuse can dominate a game inside as they did against Dayton it will be a big win for cuse. If you think the way to beat cuse zone is firing threes you will lose all day unless you hit 50%.

Thanks for all your comments but that why we all gamble and i get to go with my feeling and i glad i bet last night because now MTSU +5 1/2 only instead of +6 1/2

Middle Tennessee st would win 2 games in the ACC. They suck. Badly coached. 

Like I said MTSU was a deer in headlights vs. that zone.  

guess thats it for ya, be well lol, silly
