Nice response tonight, especially with Stevens in foul trouble.

Good win for the team. Would've been nice to be 7-0 now though.
Take that Boeheim you miserable bastard. You're an assh@le for saying what you said about psu hoops in the b10. Nice to finally pay your overrated ass back after all these years. You couldn't hold JVPs jock.

Lundy really stepping up this second half.
Watkins is so close to being a truly great player, still inconsistent offensively but it is fun watching him just completely own Syracuse down low.

85-64...nice ass beating...take that Boeheim.
A shame that Mississippi player isn’t peeing on Boeheim’s leg.....or face!
That's a very good win. The next four games are Wake Forest (H), tOSU (A), Maryland (H) and Alabama (H). Predictions for the W/L record in those games? I'll say 3-1. Going optimistic!
That's a scary stretch. 0-4 would not be shocking. Hope we can go at least 2-2.
6-0. Pitt math.
I was very critical of Chambers the other night. Pat coached a great game tonight. Handled Stevens in foul trouble, gave Watkins rest at critical times and got Lundy in during crunch time. Well done Pat.
Wake is not good this year... I can't see a loss at home in that one. 2-2 is the safe bet.
He's stayed too long. If he stays much longer one of his assistant coaches might get caught up in a sex scandal.
Oh wait......
Actually, Wake has not been good for the last few years, but they are improved this year. Senior guard Brandon Childress is playing well and they have some size and talent inside.
If forced to choose a win against Ole Miss or Syracuse, it's Cuse all the way. Hope Pat can pull it together and take us next level this year.
Yeah I was really ticked off about how they threw away the Ole Miss game. BUT... defeating Boeheim by 20+ (even if Syracuse is bad) is sooo much better than beating Oklahoma State.
It's November 30th, we don't know that yet. Maybe Penn State is pretty good? Why does it always seem people want to say the other guys suck when we beat them?
It can't be said enough times -- they are not Penn State ;-)Nice response tonight, especially with Stevens in foul trouble.

It's been that way for YEARS with our fans and this program.
But.. it did look like Syracuse basically sucks.
Syracuse sucks. They have no inside game at all. PSU outrebounded Syracuse 56-30 with Stevens on the bench for 13 minutes.
PSU can be a good team if Stevens stays out of foul trouble. Wheeler is a pesky defender but he can be a liability on offense because he has no perimeter shot. That's why we need Stevens to keep himself in the game.
Wheeler has no shot whatsoever. It's not just the perimeter. He is a very good defender, though.
The reason I think we are going to the tournament is Mike Watkins. He is dominating games and I think there are very few centers who will be able to shut him down.
Wheeler has been making layups this year. His FT shooting is even improved (50%). Today Syracuse sagged and dared him to shoot. That's not good.
Watkins is certainly dominant with blocked shots and rebounds. He's running the floor pretty well too. I'm not sure what you mean about other centers being able to shut him down. Mike scores most of his points on dunks/layups, mostly in transition. That's why he normally shoots a very high percentage. Today Syracuse extended the defense once Stevens went out and PSU tried to lob the ball over the top to Watkins. That worked a couple of times but Mike also lost the handle several times. He was only 5-13 from the field.
Great wins over Georgetown and Syracuse, I think the Big East is ours for the taking!!
For the first time in forever we have enough shooters where Wheeler’s offensive ability should not hurt us. Jones, both of them, Dread and Lundy can all shoot. With the floor spread Wheeler can get to the hoop enough to score 10 every night which, with not turning the ball over and playing plus defense, makes Wheeler valuable. I want to see Chambers string together a few solidly coached games before I get too nuts, but this team is good enough athletically to hang with most anyone. Chambers has done a fantastic recruiting job bringing in athletes. This is most certainly not a great Syracuse team, but it was like a dream watching how much more athletic we are then Syracuse. Anyone who says they envisioned that when Chambers was hired is lying.
Slightly OT...
I am watching UA/Penn basketball and there are four 3-point lines on the court. It almost looks like a track.
