I will gladly admit that I did not have us winning by 20 points tonight!

I am a lurking GT fan in upstate New York. My son and I are going to this game tonight. It is his first college basketball game.

This has been a rough season, no doubt, but the team seems to finally be playing up to their potential. Hoping for a blowout, expecting tight competition, praying not to be buried.

Dude you need to go to A LOT MORE GAMES!

A performance so beautiful it is deserving of nothing less than a gas station microwave burrito.

Syracuse fans should be reminded by Tech fans for eternity of the time their official scorer was so salty about the loss that he/she stole a triple-double away from Javon Franklin.

Helluva great win!

 

[awbuzz]

Hopefully they correct the box score and get Franklin credit for 10 assists so that he has a triple double for tonight's game.

 

[awbuzz]

27 assists! Helps when you are making shots.

Wow!!! Great shooting always makes the game a little easier. Nice road win.

Short bench tonight, but it worked.

They’ve already revised the box score to give Franklin the 10th assist.

Unreal, fun to watch, different team.

 

[awbuzz]

Finally got a box score with the 10 assists...

 

[Tech93]

Call me crazy but I think we could go on a run in the tourney. We are playing a short bench though so that could catch up with us

 

[Silk3]

Glad Franklin got the triple double

Too bad Martynov can’t make layups - could have broken the century mark.

 

[awbuzz]

And Kelly shooting 50% from 3 point land getting 30 points.

 

[Ramble1885]

COWABUNGA!!!!

 

[Jazzchaz]

Dalrymple, Scott, Anderson, Shumpert.....and now FRANKLIN!

That's why Cremins couldn't win a tournament!

So I admittedly didn’t watch this. And when I heard we made 18 three I thought man that’s amazing. Then I looked and we were 18-40 from 3.

We attempted 40 three point shots in a game? Yikes. I’m glad we were on tonight!

@CuseJacket and @Connell62 it is now clear that Syracuse does not play that zone with anything close to the same skill as past teams. But we are playing much better basketball now that Pastner is sticking with the guys who can play. 27 assists is just cruel.

I know something changed mentally with these guys, but how many triple doubles has any GT player ever recorded? Miles with 30? Three players with 20+? What did Pastner say that finally clicked with these guys?
