To Hall With You

by Sean Keeley on Mar 11, 2009 12:21 AM EDT

Syracuse scored 100 points once this season. It was against Seton Hall. We'll get a chance to do it again tomorrow night when we take on the Pirates, who defeated South Florida 68-54 tonight.

Jeremy Hazell led the Hall with 23 points and Eugene Harvey added 16 in the Pirate's first BET win since 2003. See, some good came from this new format after all (oh and Georgetown losing...)

According to Mike Waters, who was at the game courtside, "Seton Hall students just started "We want Syracuse!'' chant." Wish granted, f***ers, bring your pep band. Then again, Jameson is there as well and according to him, "Seton Hall's pep band is so weak." So...maybe not. Both of them will be there tomorrow as well.

The Orange are in NYC getting ready for tomorrow night's game. Donna Ditota caught up with some of the guys before they left and got their thoughts on the game:

Donna Ditota Talks With SU Basketball Players

For those nitpicking Syracuse's resume come NCAA selection time, you'll be glad to know the Cleveland State Vikings won the Horizon League title tonight. The Vikings handed the Orange their first loss of the season back in December. We knew they were a quality mid-major then and now they help give us a little more ammo for our own seeding.

last time Cleveland St. was in the tourney

they were a #14 seed that knocked off Indiana

PLEASE let’s not get them in the first round…. we don’t need another Vermont repeat

yea when I saw they made it, I was very uneasy for a second. I don’t want any part of Cleveland State in the tournament.

I really want Cleveland St. again

and this is the kind of matchup that the tourney committee throws in on purpose.

I actually want them again.

I don’t think these guys would lose a second time. Especially after how we lost it the first time. It would be a nice revenge start to the tourney.

No rematches

The NCAA tries to avoid all rematches in Round 1 unless there is a mitigating circumstance like BYU has to start on Thursday because they can’t play on Sundays. I can’t remember the last re-match in round 1 of the NCAA tournament. Andy Katz said the rule may have to go, but for now it’s in place.

“Another bracketing principle that may have to go is trying to avoid regular-season rematches. There are so many rules and regulations dealing with teams from the same conferences that regular-season rematches may be unavoidable in a few instances”

This is great work, Donna

1) Jonny is always Jonny, which is a good thing.
2) No comment, Andy.
3) That short interview with Kris Joseph for some reason gave me more confidence in him, although I haven’t doubted his ability to contribute this year. He could be our dark horse and play a pivotal role here on out (6-10 pts., 3-4 rebounds). In 2 years, he might make a meteoric ascension into the pantheon of memorable Cuse forwards. Has the head and raw skills to do so.
4) Isn’t it hilarious that Donna says to Jake and Justin, “So you guys have SEEN a lot of Big East games this year…” (not “competed in” or what-have-you).
5) “So Arinze, any other prophetic statements?”
“No.”

It’s gold, Jerry, gold!

They seem to have a focused and relaxed swagger heading into tonight.
