The Regime Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) The last time Syracuse and Connecticut faced each other in the Big East tournament, the game lasted early into the next morning in an epic six-overtime battle. The 11th-ranked Orange will look to continue their tournament success against the No. 21 Huskies as the two face off Friday night for a spot in the championship game. Syracuse (26-6) and Connecticut (24-9) are meeting for the fifth time in seven years in the Big East tournament, and the first time since the Orange's 127-117 six-overtime victory in the 2009 tournament quarterfinals, a game that lasted nearly four hours. Of the 12 Big East tournament meetings between Jim Boeheim's Syracuse and Jim Calhoun's Connecticut teams, it was by far the most memorable and extended Boeheim's streak over Calhoun at Madison Square Garden to four games. Kemba Walker will look to snap Connecticut's postseason losing streak to Syracuse after hitting a game-winning shot at the buzzer in the Huskies' 76-74 win over top seed and No. 3 Pittsburgh on Thursday. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/preview?gameId=310700183 The tournament two years ago was epic, hopefully tonight's game is just as competitive. Also an excellent opportunity for Kemba to raise his draft stock. Edited March 12, 2011 by Confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) What a crazy ass game. UConn was up 6 a few seconds ago, a couple Jardine 3's along with missed ft's from UConn and this game is all tied up. I don't understand why Calhoun didn't tell his team to foul, questionable coaching. OT. Edited March 12, 2011 by Confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 FT shooting really hurt Cuse at the end. What a ridiculous stat line from Kemba Walker: 33 pts, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Great game as expected. Scoop hit 2 clutch threes to take into OT which were wide open looks btw. Cuse couldn't hit their FTs which ended up being the difference in the game. Edited March 12, 2011 by Prodigy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Kemba Walker is making a late push for POTY. Dude is playing out of his mind right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
