Advantage: Syracuse

NBA 2K Playability:

The Buddy Boeheim ratings boost is still real and actually pushes him on the level with Quentin Grimes

Advantage: Push

Basketball Program Hashtag:

None vs #FortheCity and #GoCoogs

It’s the old two-hashtag problem popping up again. Either of those is fine by themselves but together it’s just meh. Still beats nothing.

Advantage: Houston

Prediction:

On one hand Buddy Buckets was doing a lot of media all week...on the other hand the NCAA cost us Buddy Donuts. No one takes our donuts from us. Cuse by a bakers dozen.
