SSSSSSSSyracuse Orange make a case for being the top team in the nation and in the Big East after being snubbed the past 2 years from the NCAA Tournament.  Cuse is PH balanced, 3-point shooting, strong inside presence, and more talent.  Cuse will definitely cover this and should win it.  Cuse +8.5.

It looks like the away team has won the last three meetings outright.

The line is set exactly where it should be. Since it is the 7pm game, though, I'll be choosing a side. That side will be pitt -8 Cuse just doesn't have the hustle when they're on the road. Case in point: the GT game. Anyone watching the game would have noticed cuse turnovers with no hustle after the fact. Maybe they shoot the lights out from behind the arc, maybe coach gets them excited to play today, but I'll be betting against it. Best of luck everyone.

fade-monkeyman - I watched that game last week as I had Syracuse and couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was pathetic, want to go with them tonight, but still pissed off at their performance.

I think you can only play cuse at home in certain situations where they'll be able to run a bit and be excited about the game. I lost some respect for coach boeheim to control those kids. They do take some thugish players and let them run loose a bit. Just my opinion. Would love to see them play up to their potential, though.

Also, as a thought, I feel like this is one of the worst possible games to tease. Choose to bet on a more consistent team when teasing games. Cuse is the quintessential schitzo college hoops team. Great talent but ya never know when they're going to show up.

I grabbed Manahattan and Cuse in a 5 pt. tease so hope their talent is harnessed for a huge game tonight.

Pitt -9 1/2, the line is begging you to take Syracuse. Pitt by 15.

PITT bouncing back
 
I think the line is telling people to take Syracuse...    It would be much closer if it wasnt.   If Syracuse is that great, Why are they not getting so many points.
 
PITT (cmon your talkin to the guy who took ST PETE PEACOCKS to cover in an earlier game)

All you guys are right about SU being inconsistent.
 
Pitt is not only a very good team, but very tough mentally as well. I'm sure they are still pissed they let one get away on the road at U of L.
 
I'll probably be a chicken shit and take Pitt on the ML.

That Gtown game is obviously the only cuse game youve personally watched this year.....ask Florida, Memphis, and Kansas how Cuse plays on the road.
