Welcome back, Fake Nunes fans. Are you ready for more Syracuse Orange basketball? Well too bad because up next are the
Opponent: Pittsburgh Panthers
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Students: 19,154 students who were in middle school when Tyler Ennis took over ownership of The Pete
The 2022-23 Fake Nunes Equation of Tumult (#FNET)
College basketball is full of metrics that no one really fully understands so we’ll continue to give you more ridiculousness with this year’s revised FNET metric.
Head Coach Casual Bench Attire:
We thought Jeff Capel was professing his love for The Acclaimed here but instead he’s probably yelling about some UNC tweet bashing his brother

Jim Boeheim should be wearing blue for this game. Leave this look for Drumlins

Advantage: Jeff Capel
Uniforms:

Advantage: Pitt
Basketball Program Hashtag:
None vs #H2P #UncommonCourage
If you have two hashtags, then you really have none
Advantage: Push
Program pandering:
A new category where we look at the programs and see what they are trying to do to garner support from the fans.

Advantage: Pitt
Prediction:
Syracuse starts slow. Then they have a stretch where they make a bunch of tough shots in a row to close the gap. Something unusual happens and Pitt jumps out to a double-digit lead and despite a late Orange rally, the Panthers get the season sweep with an eight-point win.
