Syracuse students agree: Tonight is for seeding.
Syracuse heads to the Carrier Dome for one last time this season as Syracuse takes on Virginia, the #2 team in the nation. Everyone knows UVA is a very good offensive and defensive team. UVA ranks 4th in the nation in three point field goal percentage. Additionally, they are the best defenders of the line in the country, only allowing 26.7% from three. Syracuse has a tall task, but the good news is that Syracuse can rebound well and get more possessions while limiting Virginia touching the ball. As we've seen, Syracuse can hang with the best teams in the nation, and they are coming off their most complete win of the season. Syracuse in trending in the right direction over March. However, sadly, Kyle Guy doesn't have a stupid haircut anymore so he's playing better this year. And while I think Syracuse can limit him, and the zone will disrupt Virginia's scoring a bit, Syracuse will probably just get outgunned in this one. Sadly taking the Cavs by 9. But I'm optimistic. This game is available nationally on ESPN Big Monday / WatchESPN at 7:00pm. John will definitely be in the Dome. I'll be in the home office. Thanks to the seniors playing their last game in the Dome tonight. We'll see you out there and GO ORANGE!
