Biggest game of the year...

Basically every game so far for the Syracuse Orange men's basketball team have been the biggest games of the year. But the game tomorrow against the Georgetown Hoyas, who seem to be unbeatable as of late, is a game that can really make or break us for the NCAA tournament. Georgetown has been playing extremely well, but I believe that we can still say that we are playing pretty well, coming off of a 4 game winning streak. Most will write our team off for this game, but we absolutely have the talent to win the game. If everyone plays to their potential, there is no doubt in my mind that we will win. Our problem has been inconsistency this year, but I am sure that many will agree with me that we have the talent to beat the best of them.

We've been blown out in the Dome this year by Notre Dame, but I honestly do not think we will be blown out tomorrow night. We seem to usually play to our competition and do not let games get out of hand too frequently. We just need to shut down guys like Roy Hibbert, which is obviously easier said then done, but it's possible. One huge factor is rebounding, especially offensive rebounds, where we give ourselves a second chance to score. Since we shoot a lot of perimeter shots, our guards need to follow their shots and try to rebound offensively, so that we can control the game. Defense needs to be stellar, but I think that we will do that, as long as we don't give up points to quickly. Our biggest challenge: DON'T GET INTO FOUL TROUBLE. We have done that the last few games, and it's really killed us. We need to make sure that our big guys down low don't get into foul trouble early, because if they do, we won't win. I know these things are all obvious, but I think those really are what our weaknesses have been, and if we can overcome these issues, we should fare pretty well.

Well, I was just thinking of the game and figured it would be a good way to update the blog, so that's about it.

LET'S GO ORANGE!

We need this win, hope we get it...
