“This is going to be a great Sweet Sixteen game to watch,” stated Point-Spreads.com Publisher Thomas Jensen when asked to comment on the Syracuse Orangemen Final Four Odds, Picks & Predictions. “These teams have had two common opponents this season with both teams beating smaller Coppin State. Syracuse was able to beat the Kansas Jayhawks but Oklahoma lost to the Jayhawks. Bettors need to keep in mind that Sooners star Blake Griffin was sidelined with a concussion and missed the game against Kansas. This is a much improved Oklahoma squad and Griffin is healthy. The game can go either way and the point spreads reflect this with Syracuse only a a +1 point underdog.”

"I think it was definitely a turning point for ourselves," stated Syracuse Orangemen point guard Jonny Flynn. "If you look at it from the outside, it was a historic game, and speaking for the team's sake, we really bonded. We really came together as a team, and you've seen it. If a guy fell on the floor, you had the whole team running over. We gained a lot of team camaraderie from that Big East Tournament, and that's really going to help us in the NCAAs."
“I like North Carolina if Lawson plays but Syracuse can keep up with them,” stated Point-Spreads.com College Basketball Handicapper Matt Foust when asked before the start of the 2009 NCAA Tournament for his Final Four Picks which included Syracuse taking the NCAA Bracket in the South Region. “And they have a lot of guys that can score the ball.
