10* Underdog Game of the Week
(NCAAB) Duke vs. Syracuse, 02/14/2015 1:00 PM, Score: 80 - 72
Point Spread: 7.00 | -107.00 Syracuse (Home)
Result: Loss
SYR will come out strong here at home and be the more physical team.
Its always tough for opponents to shoot from the perimeter in the dome.
Syracuse has literally nothing to lose. No pressure on them at all really, and this is basically their Super Bowl played in front of 30,000 raucous fans.
I think the key will be Joseph, Gbinije and Cooney. If they get it going SYR can win outright. The sold out crowd and the national television attention should inspire the Orange to lay it all on the line.
Syracuse has a ball hawking squad who can make things happen with their fast hands and heads up style of play. As a very athletic team, they can cause some problems for most teams matching up. Syracuse is a good rebounding team and usually give a good team effort. I look for Cooney and Christmas to have big games.
