Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4920576, member: 7970"] Having seen Syracuse play a lot this year, although they are a good team, I will say that they tend to play much better at home versus on the road. Yes, they did beat Notre Dame twice, and that does make me nervous, but I will say that Syracuse has also had some really ugly games and a few ugly losses. They have a tendency to go really cold, not unlike UConn, but they don’t have quite the same smothering defense that UConn does. Syracuse plays very tough, but if you can beat them at the rebounding game, and also double team Fair, then that helps a lot. Syracuse won’t have any height advantage on UConn but the Orange do play scrappy/physical (not dirty) so you can definitely beat them by getting to the line a lot. [/QUOTE]
