I know this is the Spike thread and all, but Kam Chatman was 1 rebound away from a double-double too.

If Caris wants to be the alpha dog, he better start alpha-ing. On the other hand, Stauskas didn't really emerge as undisputed alpha until later than this last year, so... we'll see.

As someone who can remember when the ACC used to regularly pound the Big Ten in these challenges, I'm delighted that our conference is, at this point, 5-0. The ACC would need to take eight of the next nine to *win* it.

title says it all. 

BIG win with what we have coming up. Good to get that under our belt. 

Wish we'd foul with 2.2 on the clock. That should be a no brainer situation to foul up 3.

Every W is one step closer to a tourney bid, better seeding and where u get sent. This will be a big quality win at seasoins end. Anytime youve beaten Syracuse youve had a major accomplishment. A win like this keeps you in top 10-15 territory instead bottom 20 territory. We will only get better and better. The FT shooting at games end was not pretty and we need to work on our Fts otherwise GREAT win for the good guys!!

Sees the floor so so well. Spacing, awareness, wow. Clutch. Open 3, gotta take it. must be so fun playing in this system for this coach.

On that note, was surprised how poor Caris' shot selection was in the 2nd half.

Great game, and some really clutch moments by Spike. I won't lie, I was a little worried that we were going to blow it a couple of times. Syracuse, however really looked too anxious at the end.
