Ah, look how cute. Syracuse and UConn miss each other.
The old Big East rivals don't play this season with the Orange now in the ACC and all, but that didn't stop the folks who control the schools' Twitter accounts from taking swipes at each other Tuesday. This actually looks like a trap set for Syracuse because UConn started and most definitely got the last word with this brief exchange.

It sure would be fun to see these two meet at some point in the postseason, The problem with that is Syracuse won't be in the postseason at all this year because of a self-imposed punishment it announced earlier this month as it tried to get out in front of the coming results of an NCAA investigation. But it's not like UConn is guaranteed a spot in one of the postseason tournaments at this point. The defending national champs are 14-10 overall and 7-5 in a relatively weak American Conference and the Huskies are coming off an 18-point loss at SMU. As you might expect, fans of both schools saw the exchange and then chimed in with a new round of insults and burns and by the time it all fizzled out there were probably a few hundred hours of lost productivity our nation's economy will never get back.
