The 2020-21 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’re bringing back a revised FNET metric.

Head Coach Bench Attire and Mask:

Bob Huggins was sideline casual before sideline casual was a thing. He dresses like someone who gave his two-weeks notice and has zero f’s to give.

You know we’ve been too stuck in too much MCU Universe discussion when our first thought is WVU is taking the place of Hydra

We’re giving this one some international flavor and everyone in the ACC was happy that Marek finally got his pizza in Indy

1.7/10 With Buddy hitting 50% from 3 Jim’s got little to stress about these days.

Prediction:

The NCAA is trying to mess with Syracuse’s momentum by moving the team to Bankers Life Fieldhouse but Buddy throws them off by shaving his head and channeling his inner Reggie Miller. Huggins doesn’t have Joe Mazzulla to save him as this game is decided by better free-throw shooting from the Orange who survive and advance.
