PrintProvidence Friars at Syracuse Orange, Jan 14, 2012 6:00 PM EST
The top-ranked Syracuse Orange and Providence Friars will meet on the hardwood for the second time in the last 10 days, as the two square off this evening in Big East action at the Carrier Dome.
The Friars can hang with any team in the conference, although the league slate has provided some hazards in the early going, with Providence at just 1-4 in conference play. The team ended a four-game slide in a huge way, whipping nationally-ranked Louisville, 90-59.
Syracuse owns a sizeable 45-10 advantage in the series all-time and is seeking the regular-season sweep after recording an 87-73 victory at Providence on January 4th.
Providence is definitely not a team to take likely. Louisville found that out the hard way, as the Friars rolled up 90 points in a rout of the Cardinals last time out and didn't even have one of their big guns at their disposal. Gerard Coleman (15.1 ppg) missed the game due to a lingering back injury. Bryce Cotton and Kadeem Batts posted 27 points apiece in the win, with Watts completing a double-double with 10 rebounds. Star guard Vincent Council also recorded a double-double with 15 points and 14 boards. Freshman LaDontae Henton added 14 points in the scoring deluge. While the Friars put on an offensive clinic against Louisville, the numbers have been more modest on the year. The team comes into this contest averaging 70.1 ppg. Council is a favorite for Big East Player of the Year, averaging team-highs of 16.4 points and 7.1 assists per game. Coleman's 15.1 ppg should be back on the floor in this one. Cotton and Henton provide adequate depth at 14.6 and 12.7 ppg, respectively.

Ohio State and North Carolina both lost this week.
What on earth is Ron Morris going to do?
Go Cuse!
Assuming we win, I can wait
to see the balls on Morris when he keeps us No. 4 this week

Correction:
Ohio St. lost….UNC got embarrassed…..
I don't want it to happen, but...
What if SU loses today? Then assume Kentucky will be #1. Will they spend the next week pondering whether Kentucky is the true #1? I mean, it is non-stop on ESPN about Syracuse. I wonder if they would risk that against Kentucky. They are treating this Ok St win like some sort of statement. You know, OK St that finished 4th at the NIT, getting blown out by 2 teams SU beat.

When we inevitably lose one
even if we’re the last undefeated team and it’s in quadruple-overtime against a quality team like UConn, Seth Davis and the ESPN guys will dance on SU’s grave like there’s no tomorrow.
It's the most bullshit thing I've seen in thirty years.

Yeah
But this non-stop garbage about “Is SU the #1” or “Shouldn’t Baylor be #1” Would they do that if it was Kentucky in the equation instead of Syracuse? I think not. Even though Kentucky has 1 loss, they will not even mention Baylor being better than Kentucky.

As scared as I am for this game, this isn’t a game I’d like to play against a team at full strength. If this were Georgetown, UConn, or WVU, I’d want to beat them with their stars so that the pundits will have one less thing to complain about.
Right
We’ve already beaten them at full strength, let’s just win this one and move on.

It wasn’t a bad shot but I don’t like it when Scoop (or Brandon or Kris, who have also done this today) take shots with a lot of time on the shot clock if it’s not an easy layup or dunk.

Cooley has several bald patches on the back of his head. He has a skin condition that causes hair loss in specific areas. It doesn’t spread. Cooley’s had the condition as long as I can remember, which goes back to his days as an assistant at Boston College from 1997 to 2006.

i'm actually enjoying the announcers tonight
anyone else?
I think they've been decent. unoffensive
Which probably means goods
Well
I was hoping Baye would convert on Dion’s pass, to see if we’d hear, “gotta tip the Waiter!”
If it was easy, I'd be doing it...
but in case this wasn't clear last time
MORE THAN 10%!!!!
"We don't lose hat and t-shirt games" - Tedy Bruschi
we always go on that run
this game its a 19-5 run to end the half. Id like to see a stat of our average “run” a game and where it stacks up with the rest of the nation. kenpom anyone?

Now
Need to keep the pedal down. Would hate to see PC creep back into this. They won’t, but I’d still hate it.
If it was easy, I'd be doing it...
Always amazes me
That Syracuse has so much trouble with the 2-3 zone. You’d think all the time JB yells at them for defensive lapses they would know exactly what to do.
Southerland is automatic from the elbow against the zone.
We need to give it to him every time thats open.
by DukePettyjohn on Jan 14, 2012 6:56 PM EST up reply actions
I think CJ is the guy to break the zone
He has been hitting that 15 footer in the middle and also does a good job moving inside the paint with the ball. I think SU fell in their own trap and started lobbing 3pointers non-stop until JB smacked them in the head.
Oh yeah, the PRESS was nice.
by orangetundra on Jan 14, 2012 6:58 PM EST up reply actions
to be fair, we've missed every single 3-pointer
i think it’s looked worse because we haven’t been able to hit from outside, but yea… they seem to settle for jump shots a little too much
bleh you're right
sorry, short term memory loss…
not til the very end tho. i think his/her point is valid.
our shooting percentage at the 8:00 mark was 30-something%

Exactly
That is the trap JB sets for opponents and then his own teams fall for it. It is funny just because you’d think they would know better, but that wide open 3 is hard to pass up.

Hopefully they come out focused in the 2nd half
This should be a 30 point blowout.
Boeheim should adjust,
seeing how the FC pressure worked so well in forcing turnovers.

"We had our best practice yesterday. Every time that happens, we don't get going."
Boeheim just said that to Park. I like that we’re still improving.
Does Fab only have 2 fouls?
I swear he was called for 3. They did a good job getting Fab and Keita out with only 2 each if that is the case.
Pretty sure it's only 2

It's 2.
I know Fab, Keita, and Dion have two apiece, and I think either Scoop or Kris has the other.
christmas didn't play bad for that last stretch
i didn’t his doing anything particularly good or bad. so i think thats a win.

Microcosm of the BE
We’re obviously undefeated, Cincy has one loss, everyone else has at least 2
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
Uconn at their place. Maybe Georgetown.
I’m not sure anyone could beat us right now.
Gates worries me the most. Their shooters didn't seem special.
Gates could get mellow in trouble early.
This game better hurry up...
its almost Tebow time.
Scoop's one assist away from the DBLDBL...
.. what’s the likelihood JB gets him back in the game at this point? I’m gonna say 9%
11%?
