That was damn close.

Reffing was bad on both sides.

Congrats Cincy! No offense Cuse fans but none of us wanted to see a departing school win this thing. We were all pulling for you guys. I know ill be rooting for you tomorrow night!

Impressive win I couldn't see from the airport. Looks like the UC RPI just jumped about 20 spots to #41.

Cuse still has one more year in the BE. If they were going to win the BE tourney this was probably their best chance. I got a pal who lives in Utica NY and he thinks JB will retire before getting into the ACC....Any thoughts on that Cuse fans?... I Don't want to make a thread for that and cause drama.

Dude you would've been pulling for Cincy over us even if we were not leaving.

If he wins it all this year...yes

If not I'm not sure. Boeheim would make a great color commentator/studio guy.

Honestly I find this particular Cuse team a little too cocky for my tastes (or else I just dislike Scoop and Melo on a personal level) but given Boeheim's feelings on the move--he's against it, and it represents a destruction of the rivalries he spent his career building--if they were to have won this year, or if they win next year, I would have applauded/I will applaud them on the way out.

It was a close finish. The threes by Cuse in the last few minutes were driving me crazy - that and UC's missed free throws.

Good luck in the NCAA tourney unless you have to play the Bearcats again.

I was for Cincy because as a Georgetown fan, a part of me always likes to see Cuse lose. But i couldnt care less about the 'departing school' stuff. That is nonsense.

That's true, these rivalries run deep.

I've got no ill will towards Syracuse, just wanted to beat a damn good team.

Head and shoulder above rest of the BE?

Guess what? Cincinnati has beaten the most ranked teams (7) in the nation!! They should be a 3 or 4 seed!

Your #107 SOS is what will keep you back. Your RPI is not great either. This is a great win however.

Yes we're head and shoulders above the Big East. Every level headed fan would agree with me. Get a grip.

JB will coach at least 1 year in the ACC.

Don't worry...most rational thinkers see this. The good news is our '03 team didn't win the BE Tourney either.

Did you take into account your sorry ass SOS? You played soft and tough teams you played mostly all at home. Seriously, get a grip cause there isn't even scheduling in the BE. If you can't even figure that out, I don't know what to tell you.

Meanwhile, UCONN played #2 or #3 SOS in the country comparing to your pantsy schedule.

This win sucked for Cincy...they beat a waaay overrated team who peaked in January as usual.
