Syracuse Basketball: Predictions for Northeastern showdown

The Syracuse basketball squad will try to figure out their lives in the Carrier Dome Tuesday night vs Northeastern in non-conference action.

The Syracuse basketball (5-2) squad will continue their nonconference schedule on Tuesday evening vs the Northeastern Huskies (4-4). Syracuse is a 82.6 percent favorite per the ESPN FPI Analytics.

Syracuse is coming off a narrow escape of the Cornell Big Red. An Ivy League school that the Orange had beaten 38 times prior to playing on Saturday. While the team did win their 39th in a row, it came in the closest contest between the two teams in a decade.

If the Orange want to realize their true potential of getting to a Final Four or even a National Championship, they simply have to play better offensively. The team was in serious disarray in the Cornell game and fortunately won with just Oshae Brissett and Tyus Battle playing good, that won’t always be the case.

Will this be another game that will be close but shouldn’t be? Our expert panel put their heads together on this game and how it will play out. Check out our predictions then share your own in the comments below!
