Syracuse students agree: Syracuse needs a big non-conference win.
Syracuse travels to Columbus to take on THE Ohio State at home in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. In desperate (not really, but yeah) need of a marque non-conference win, Syracuse has a great opportunity in #16 OSU. Syracuse will have Frank Howard at full force on the floor, with a week to prepare for OSU. By now I know that Howard can facilitate, and Brissett and Battle can score. The question after the Colgate game is clearly can the big men hold up their end? Chukwu suffered a groin strain and sat most of Colgate, and Sidibe isn't still isn't 100%. If Syracuse is able to protect the low post, and rebound, they should win this one. If they aren't, well SU is going to get smoked on the boards and head home with a fat L. I think Chukwu should be ready and will do just enough, and while they didn't look great in MSG, Syracuse now has their actual starting point guard and should be ready to be the floor general Syracuse was desperately needing. OSU is a 4.5 point favorite which seems low, but I'll take a flyer and say the Orange come out like they should have against UConn, light it up, and get a lot of points off turnovers because the 2-3 is working it. I'll take Syracuse by 8. This game is available on ESPN 2 / WatchESPN at 7:15pm. We'll see you out there. GO ORANGE!
