Syracuse students agree: This one's a gimmie.
Syracuse returns from D.C. after a ten point loss to rival Georgetown after running into the hot hand of their guard. Now Syracuse looks to rebound with what should be an easy affair in the Dome. Syracuse should be in control of this one.
Oakland isn't a big shooting team, but the best shooter is Blake Lampman hitting 35.6% from three. If Syracuse covers him, Oakland will have to rely on their best scorer Xavier Hill-Mais, averaging 18.3ppg. He does his work in the post, which obviously has been a problem for Syracuse on the defensive end in various games this season. If Sidibe and Dolezaj can step up and guard without fouling, and the wings are able to rotate effectively, Syracuse should have an easy win. Syracuse should be able to get easy transition buckets. This game shouldn't stress the team or any fans out. Syracuse over Oakland by 22.
This game is available on ESPN U (never graduate) at 8:00pm. John should be in the Dome. I'm in the home office. Maybe John's 1 game streak of going to losses will be broken. GO ORANGE!
