Is anyone else watching this game right now? It's turning into an incredible defensive game. I attend Syracuse and I'm freaking out right now. #4 v #20, such an crazy game.
-
going back and forth with the BC game,,,,but the Cuse game is def set up for a better finish....looks like Devendorf and Jonny Flynn are gettin it done
-
its gettin chippy
-
Thabeet is a godly force on defense. Almost every shot Cuse takes is affected by him. It'll be interesting to see what he does in the NBA because of how scrawny he is.
-
its gettin chippy
Thats how all of their games go. I love it lol.
-
okafor-esque
and that was a brutal joke by the announcer "he turned Thabeet around"
-

thats how BC was like 3 yrs ago wit Craig Smith, Dudley and Sean Williams ,,,i loved it TP
-
I think Flynn has some Rondo in him... He's a relentless attacker to the basket and just got the better of Thabeet.
-
Great game, I love the Big East Tournament. It's on my sports bucket list.
-
funny,,,the first thing i thought of on that play was rondo...when he got tossed to the ground and bounce right up....tough 3 by austrie

tp for sports bucket list...the Horseshoe for OSU-Michigan is on mine
-
Did they not see the white kid absolutely yank thabeet? Thats 2 shots from the big man, and UConn probably loses right there.
-
Wowzers.
I dunno if thats good though
-
Don't you just with one of the announcers would just say "Ah screw it..its good."
Aww garbage they waived it off.
-
Great shot, good call. UConn's gonna win this game now, no doubt.

I think this deserves a spread.
-
That was probably the closest I've ever seen a shot to the buzzer. Incredible shot, but unfortunately I think the refs got it right.
-
amazin shot,,,too bad for nothing...too bad cuse deserves it but uconn had momentum

Big-time typo. I meant thread. Syracuse must be covering this spread. I love college basketball so I'd put the Big East Tourney over the Horseshoe, although both are pretty awesome.
-
instant classic...no matter the finish
-
If this doesn't end soon i think i'm literally going to die. I'm just freaking out. Go Cuse!!!!!!!!!!
-
I could watch this all night. This whole day has been awesome. Hopefully it's just a prelude for the rest of the month. I love the Celtics more than any sports team on the universe, but there is still something special about the college game and the month of March that nothing can compare to.
-

just so u know,,,i have no vested interest in this game at alllllll....i have no idea who you are, but i am rooting for the cuse like its the celts in game 7 versus the lakers.... i guess thats what celticsblog is about
-
and what a rondo-esque take by jonny
-
jonny flynn has HANDS DOWN the best handle in the country, definition of "yo-yo handles"
-
this game is amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...when i can repeat karma action tp for bballdog
-
Being a Syracuse fan, they have alot of chances to win this game and just cannot close it out, frustrating.
But this game is amazing, With Jackson fouling out and Onuaku fouling out, it looked like Uconn had a HUGE advantage with Thabeet, but now with him fouling out, the game play will definately change.
And Johnny Flynn is so good..
we will see what happens
-
HI, I am Paul Harris and I have missed 7 layups in this game. If you just let me go for the Layup I will miss it.

Looked like he went for the dunk and it slipped out of his hands. Please just go up with two with Thabeet out of the game.

poor kid
-
I love sports. TP for the Harris call. I'm exhausted and I've been watching the whole game from my desk.
-
going to a 5th overtime.. i really want to sleep, but i can't leave this game. man, flynn and harris missing some layups down the stretch of the 4th overtime.. rough: must be tired as heck.
-
Syracuse wants nothing to do with winning this game.
Their needs to be a layup missed counter. With Harris missing those 3 at the end of the 4th overtime and then Joseph missing his 2, I mean come on, they are Layups!!
I hate getting this heated before I goto bed(should have been 2 hours ago, btw)

both may have been blocked. he was slow to go up with them so he probably shouldnt have even been in the situation, but it wasnt like he just flat out missed them
-
True! Im letting my Hatred for Uconn get to me! also I am tired, sure most were contested Layups, but this late at night its no EXCUSE!!! haha.
6 ot's anyone??
-
whats the OT record?
-
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_game_holds_the_record_for_the_most_overtimes_in_NCAA_men%27s_basketball_Division_1-A_history
7 OT's Cincinnati beat Bradley in 1981.
-
tp my man...thanks
-
Anything for a Celtics Fan
-
This is ridiculous... I saw the first buckets of the game at a pizza place while eating dinner.... 4 hours ago. Didn't realize they were still going until the 5th OT.
-
OMFG thanks all of you guys for your support. It looks like this finally might be it... knock on wood. Whoever wins tho is going to be literally dead against WV.
-
I am watching the clock on my comp as well as the clock in this game, wondering which one is going to break me first!
Lets hope OT #6 puts an end to it, in Syracuse's favor, of course.
Syracuse has an uncanny way of blowing leads late in games. I hope this is not one of them. Uconn is way to good to just let this game die, Ill be on the edge of my seat till that final buzzer!

i hope u saw my post in support of cuse...which was prob an hour ago now
-
Lets hope the game against WV isnt at Noon!!

That is why the game of basketball is a blessing. Not much in sports, if anything, can compare to something like that.

For those who don't know, I am a huge Syracuse fan, I watched the whole game, and I think I might throw up. I love you all.

Same here man. I'm a student there and I was freaking out the whole game. Paul Harris is God. 22 boards.

My housemate is a Conn fan, he was depressed all night. I tried to compare a Celtics 6OT loss and just couldn't do it. If it were a Celts win I could imagine the great feeling. Congrats. Suck it up tomorrow and beat an inferior team and you guys are looking at a 4 or 5 seed.
-
as I diehard Syracuse fan i'm going to have to call that the greatest game in the history of the NCAA, I can't even begin to count the amount of BIG BIG shots hit by both teams.
-
I am not at all a 'Cuse fan, before last night i couldn't stand them. Certain guys on that team are more concerned with showboating and looking like tough guys than just going out and winning, and it rubs me the wrong way. I have a feeling most college fans know exactly who I am talking about.
That being said, I gotta give them all the credit for last night, that was an unbelievable performance on both sides, and Cuse deserved it the way they kept fighting to stay in when they were clearly out of gas (still can't believe they never had a lead through the first 4 or maybe 5 overtimes). Amazing game and a great win for the Orange. You can't help but gain a lot more respect for them after that.
But I don't think Jim Boeheim's 7-man rotation is gonna be a good idea tonight :P

Watching it again on ESPN Classic - it's a much different experience when I know the result and am watching it sober. I still can't believe what I saw last night.
I agree with the folks who say Syracuse is a hard team to love - they make a lot of mental mistakes, play like punks at times and put hotdogging over substance. The Seton Hall game on Wednesday showed off all of these. I grew up in Northern New York where the Cuse was the only bigtime sports team within 200 miles, so I didn't really have a choice.
But last night was the greatest game I've ever seen them play, including in any of their Final Four and championship runs. They blew a lead, missed a buzzer-beater by .1 seconds, and never led through 5 overtimes. Heck, they spent the last 7 minutes with a walkon 2-guard I didn't even recognize. They could've given up at any point, but they kept scrapping and finally just outlasted a better team. Even if they completely poop the bed against WVa, this has been one to remember, right up there with the McNamara tourney in 06. I think we've got a 5 seed for sure now, and up to a 3 if we win the whole thing.
Oh, and Jim Boeheim is the greatest bad coach in major sports history. Love that guy.
