Syracuse students agree: This should be a nice win today.
Syracuse heads down to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest, a team struggling in the league. They have 4 wins, and those include an OT win against Pitt, Miami, ND, and one fluke win against NC State. Wake isn't the best basketball team around, so it should stand to reason that Syracuse should be able to play a solid game and win a nice victory on the road in the league. Obviously winning doesn't do much for Syracuse, but it would give them 10 league wins and another road win. Losing would prove costly however, pushing Syracuse from solidly in the tournament, to a bubble team real quick.Either way, Wake Forest doesn't do much well. They aren't prolific scorers, don't particularly have a great defense, and don't shoot the ball from distance particularly well. About they only thing they are great at is rebounding and putting in buckets off those rebounds. If Syracuse doesn't turn the ball over, continue playing solid defense, and at least controlling a bit of the boards (better than UNC [which they should]), Syracuse should just steadily increase their lead and win the game. Syracuse should have a nice game today, and frankly even if they have a bit of trouble and let Wake go on a bit of a run in the 2nd half, they should still be able to have a big enough lead to weather the storm on the road. I'm taking Syracuse over Wake by 14. This game is available regionally for the last time probably ever on Raycom regional coverage at 12:00pm. Both John and I will be watching. It's on actual TV for me today HORRRRAAAY!. Go Orange!
