Syracuse students agree: Beating UNC was a blast last year.
Syracuse ended last season with a massive 28 point victory over UNC in the ACC Tournament. Then the world shut down. Now Syracuse heads down to Chapel Hill to take on UNC in a rescheduled game from earlier this year. UNC has a slight edge. Can Syracuse make it two in a row against UNC?
Syracuse and UNC are kind of opposites. UNC drives the ball a lot, and doesn't really take many outside shots. Syracuse relies on their outside and mid-range shooting, and especially without Guerrier in the game, don't go inside very much. So either Syracuse is able to stop UNC from scoring inside, and getting into a ton of foul trouble, or UNC won't be stopped inside, and somehow UNC goes off on threes. Obviously Syracuse can't afford long stretches of not scoring. I don't know if Sidibe is back in the game or not, but if he isn't, the odds aren't in Syracuse's favor. Either way, unless Syracuse has a stellar day, I think UNC will dominate the boards and will likely beat Syracuse, even in a close game. UNC by 9.
This game is available on ACC Network at 9pm. Both John and I will be watching from the home office. GO ORANGE!
