PG:Curry

Syracuse
PG:Flynn
SG:Devendorf
SF:Joseph
PF:Ongenaet
C:Jackson

If Syracuse plans on winning:
1.Use your timeouts effectively. Syracuse is playing with severely limited resources tonight, to the point where we may see a little bit of brandon reese possibly, you never know.
2.Let Flynn be the catalyst. Flynn needs to be able to dribble penetrate on a consistent basis and keep the Providence defense guessing.
3.Let Flynn be a shooter. This will definitely help him be the catalyst considering i haven't seen him take too many threes lately. this will take some pressure off of devendorf as well.
4.Get back on defense. Providence loves to run a very, very quick offense, which is not good when you only have about 6 guys you can work with.
5.Feed Jackson the ball in the post. He's Struggled in his last 2 outings, and with onuaku not there to pick him up, giving Rick touches is going to be crucial.
6.No reverses for Kristof.

Key Player:
Paul Harris: Harris needs to be aggressive on the offensive boards tonight, something he has lacked in the past 3 games. If he can return to his old ways, he should be in double figures.

Providence:
Geoff Mcdermott: One of the best BIGS in the big east. Loves to go to his left hand frequently like a certain fellow on our roster named arinze.

I'll be bouncing around tonight.
I'll post after the game
