Syracuse students agree: None of us will be at the game.
Syracuse kicks off the 2020-2021 season with uncertainty, just like all of America. This season will be weird and may not even reach the finish line. They probably shouldn't even be playing. But here we are. I'll take what I can get.
Either way, Syracuse will be practicing for the first time in the last 10 days. Meaning that Syracuse is starting the season without having practiced much in the last couple weeks due to Jim Boeheim and other team personnel testing positive for COVID-19. That being said, it looks like it's now full steam ahead. Either way, Syracuse is taking on Bryant. Meaning that even if Syracuse isn't playing at their peak, Syracuse is freshly stocked with scholarship players, including transfer guard Alan Griffin. The guards are going to be a nightmare for opposing teams, and if the defense at the top of the Zone has improved, Syracuse is going to be getting the other team to turn the ball over a ton again. Because even when the defense wasn't the best, Syracuse still forced turnovers. Syracuse should be a little rusty at the start of the game, but they should probably settle in quickly, and it will be off to the races in the 2nd half. Syracuse over Bryant by 26.
This game is available at 3:00pm on The ACC Network. I'll be watching in the home office. John will as well. Good luck, stay safe, and I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Here's hoping things get better and we're all able to have a nice, healthy basketball season.
