Wanted to get this going. I want this game so bad. As many of you know and for those that don't, I went to Syracuse.
As for the matchup, I think the keys will be on defense. I'd like to see Lavin put Pointer on Michael-Carter Williams and Sampson on CJ Fair. I think those matchups are crucial. Play a lineup of Greene, Harrison, Pointer, Sampson, Obekpa as the starting five. Without Branch, we need Greene on the floor as much as possible because Harrrison can't be the main ballhandler going up against the Cuse zone. Hope Bourgault gets some major minutes to extend the defense, but I don't think pairing Bourgault and Harrison in the backcourt together will be a good idea against Cuse.
Cuse has only 7 scholarship players. They love to run but I think we can run with them. Cuse only has one big - Rakeem Christmas, and I think that Obekpa can take care of him. Cuse doesn't have great bigs this year.
If we want this win we need everyone to bring their A-game. I don't think Harrison needs to go off, but he needs to get at least 15 points and play an overall solid game.
LETS GO REDMEN!!!!
