2019-20 Fake Nunes Equation of Tumult (#FNET)
You wanted something more ridiculous than RPI and the NCAA gave you NET. We give you more ridiculousness so we bring back the FNET metric.
Head Coach Bench Attire:
Chris Mack is a good coach. He’s never going to make any best dressed coach lists-mostly because he looks like an 80s movie villain.

Jim Boeheim probably packed two outfits for this trip so if the Orange wins maybe we’ll get our wish of seeing him coach a game in his tracksuit.

Advantage: Syracuse because think of all we could do with Tracksuit Boeheim memes.
NBA 2K Playability:
Would anyone object to letting Jordan Nwora and Elijah Hughes play 1 on 1 here?
Advantage: Louisville because Nwora’s got a better supporting cast
Basketball Program Hashtag:
None vs #GoCards
Louisville keeps it simple here and yes it’s boring and not too original but it’s better than nothing.
Advantage: Louisville

8.77/10 This is Syracuse’s last chance at earning a NCAA Tournament bid (If there’s so Jim won’t hesitate to let the polyester fly through the Greensboro night.
Wrestling Theme for this game
One part of the Best Friends team in All Elite Wrestling, Chuck Taylor is a native of Kentucky who has the good sense to hang out with the greatest wrestler in the world Orange Cassidy
Prediction:
The first match-up got out of hand for the Orange and it’s going to take a much better defensive effort for them to advance out of this game. Maybe the lack of a crowd will inspire the Orange to play well so they don’t have to listen to Boeheim screaming “Quincy!!!” all night long. Cuse by 3.
