"Return Of The Marathon Men" Contest

PrintTonight's game between Syracuse and UConn will be the first since SixOvertimes.com, the game that is required by law to be described as "epic."
It's also a game that spawned one of the most memorable t-shirts in recent SU lore. The Marathon Men shirt. You probably remember the orange one but what if I told you there was one available in navy blue??? (Oddly, gray not available...)
I've got six navy Marathon Men T-shirts that need a new home. You want one? All you need to do is answer one very simple question...
HOW MANY POINTS WILL SYRACUSE SCORE AGAINST UCONN?
That's it. Simple question, simple answer. Leave it below in the comments before tip-off and you're set. Also include your guess for the total points scored in the game by both teams as we'll use that as the tie-breaker.
You can also buy the shirt at the SU Bookstore if you like.

Because 44 in each half is a good number! Uconnvicts get 69, total of 157. And I will take that in a Large, please. My second comment, second attempt at winning a shirt. Keep the giveaways going and you have a fan for life, Sean.

Final score – SU 82 – CONNvicts 65 for a total of 147

75 for the 'Cuse
’61 for the Connvicts
Total: 134
I figure UConn’s height will strangely neutralize our bigs. The tiebreaker should have been over-under on missed layups and bunnies by RJ and AO. We’ll have to break out the Bobby Knight formula for points/potential points. I criticize becaues I care.
It’s gonna come down to the other 5 to make it happen offensively.
Go Cuse!!!

68 for scum.
