Well the ladies bounced back from 2 losses in the last week and kicked a$$ today. So I say the men will do the same at Cuse. Score?
Not the team we need to play right now when we're trying to right the ship.
But if we don't come out of the gate and play with purpose be prepared to limp to the finish line just like we did last year.. I really hope I'm wrong but I'm really not feeling this game with Cuse.

Uh, PHCard, we are not “at Cuse” on Wednesday. Just for your info. I don’t have a prediction other than I think we’ll snap the “losing streak”. Shooting will improve and we’ll get the ball inside for our bigs to score and that’s how you beat a zone. Most folks think you beat a zone by shooting over it AND if you are “on” that will work but . . . . . What I’d like to see is for US to spring a match up zone on SU from time to time during this upcoming game. Let’s see how they deal with that.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
My expectations for this team has put on hold until I see the internal issues resolved which might not happen until next year. I don't know exactly what happened but it's pretty obvious there is something going on internally.
If what ever happened isn't resolved before game time, the Orange will roll to an easy win.

Jordan will have a big game against the zone. I’ll be interested to see how DJ adjusts to this defense as we will see if he truly can get to the basket at will on any team.
i'll go with Cards but it will be a close game if win.
Syracuse lost by 3 to FSU on the road. they have been playing well but lost close games. both teams have lost the last 2 games.

I predict we will return to shooting form in the friendly confines and as a result we will drill the Cuse.
I'm not bothering to go to watch a loss, so I predict the good guys by 3. But it will go into the final moments before some late free throws by McMahon ice it...
Better ball movement will improve the shooting. Just a better group of shooters when they get those shots off of good movement.
It has to be a collective effort.
We’ll beat Syracuse but I have zero faith in Mack to have this team locked in come tournament time.
I feel it. The season is gonna turn around tonight like Katina Powell in a dorm room. Cards start slow to some boos and FARRRR that sonofabeyitch in the first half, looking stronger in the 2nd half to win by 10. Cards will beat FSU!
Card's poor shooting + Syracuse's tough 2-3 = a Cardinal win of 10-15 tonight. Sounds crazy, but book it.
This team vs Syracuse zone? Not a great matchup in my opinion. Why? Even though we have guys who can hit the 3, this team does not pass the ball enough to beat a zone. Also if Nwora misses a few, he’s liable to go in the tank again. Hope I’m wrong! Go Cards!
Nice call on the Cards blowing out Syracuse.
I've seen enough of CCM over the years to know he would do what he had to do to get the fire going again. Shaking up the starting lineup was a good start. Malik's effort was never in question, as was DJ's. Placing DJ in the paint to kick the ball out or feed Malik down low was a brilliant move.
During timeouts even at the end of the game Malik was strongly voicing his displeasure with teammates when the defense was breaking down.
Malik is a captain and it's good to hear he is taking on some leadership there Koz!
Attendance was around 16K, and that's how it looked. Arena capacity is 22K.
We need to average in excess of 19K these last two home games to best last year's average...

Well we do have a shot at 19+ for the UNC game on Saturday just because it’s UNC and we kicked SUs @$$. Not so sure about the other game, but we shall see.

Sutton. We’re going to miss that dude.
He's my favorite player on this team. Dude never stops, what a motor, never takes anything for granted.
