Syracuse students agree: It's pretty close to do or die.
Well it isn't early January. Which means that if Syracuse does lose to G'Tech, there are actually Tournament implications, unlike when that usually happens. Syracuse has been very high and very low in their last two games. Which Syracuse ended up in Georgia? We'll find out.
Everyone, more or less, thinks Syracuse is going to lose to G'Tech. G'Tech is slightly favored both by Vegas, ESPN, and KenPom. G'Tech is pretty good at two things, offense and stealing the ball. Syracuse, specifically Marek Dolezaj, will be outmatched down low. Moses Wright is 6'9". However, it's not the height, it's the weight. Dolezaj will likely be dominated inside because he's not the same level of bulk. Syracuse will likely have problems inside stopping them, much like Pittsburgh and UNC. The only way Syracuse will win is if they are able to make 3s. They just need to outscore G'Tech. A tough task though. Both teams are likely to get steals for points, but Syracuse needs to make sure Buddy takes and makes 3s. Either way, it's not likely based on how easy it will probably be for G'Tech to score inside. I'm taking G'Tech by 13.
This game is available on The ACC Network at 12:00pm. See you out there. GO ORANGE!
