Syracuse students agree: Spring Break isn't as fun as winning a Tournament.
Syracuse limped into the 6 Seed in the ACC Tournament. Syracuse is basically playing for NIT seeding at this point. So will the team show up and compete, or will they have an early exit in Greensboro again?
Syracuse was murdered by UNC 92-79 a couple weeks ago in Syracuse. Now Syracuse can get redemption. But first and foremost, if Syracuse wants to win this game, they MUST DEFEND THREE POINT BASKETS. Syracuse let BC get 19 in their game. Cole Anthony had seven in the Dome. But the real issue was Garrison Brooks earning 25 points against Syracuse. Hughes will be playing the entire game. If Syracuse is able to play decent defense, and make some three point baskets, they'll win. If not, Syracuse will lose again. It's simple. Syracuse must play the best defense of the year to advance to play Louisville, another team that crushed them this season. Either way, there is no evidence, other than at Virginia, Syracuse has demonstrated they can stop big men. This game will be a little closer, but Syracuse will still probably lose by a good amount. UNC over Syracuse by 9.
This game is available on ESPN 2 at 9:00pm*. Both John and I are watching from home, like everyone will be after tonight. Stay safe and stay healthy. GO ORANGE!
