Florida enters Kansas City to face the Syracuse Orange tonight. Both teams are 3-0 and Florida is currently ranked 18th. The key match up tonight will be how Eric Devendorf will play versus Florida guard Nick Calathes. Calathes is averaging 15.78 points per game, six rebounds, and 5.7 assists a game. Devo is averaging 15.3 points per game, while Jonny Flynn is averaging 20.7 points a game. Florida is averaging 75 ppg, while Syracuse is averaging 82.3. However Syracuse allows about the same margin more in points than Florida, so on paper the teams are pretty even. I think the X factor will be how both Jonny Flynn and Onuaku respond. If Flynn can slice the lane like he has been against inferior opponents, and Onuaku can handle hot passes inside and finish strong, Syracuse will go a long way in securing them a place atop the Big East when the conference slate comes around. I’ll Say Syracuse wins, but only by the slim margin of five points.
