Syracuse Basketball: Predictions for St. Bonaventure showdown

On Saturday, will the Syracuse basketball team be able to avenge their surprising home loss to St. Bonaventure from a season ago?

Losing inside the Carrier Dome is not something that happens often for the Syracuse basketball team. Losing inside the Carrier Dome to the St. Bonaventure Bonnies is something that happens even less for the Orange.

But last season, St. Bonaventure marched right onto Syracuse’s home court and handed them a big fat loss. It was the Bonnies’ first win over the Orange since the 1980-81 season.

A handful of players from last season’s Syracuse team will be on the floor for Saturday’s matchup and one should assume that they’ll be doing their best to prevent another surprising loss.

Thanks to the holiday season, the Orange have had an entire week to prepare for this contest. Will the extra time work in their favor on Saturday or will the Orange look like they ate one too many Christmas cookies during their break and suffer another surprising loss to St. Bonaventure?

The staff here at Inside The Loud House has a few ideas about how this specific matchup will turn out for Syracuse. Find out below if any of them think the Orange will be losing to the Bonnies for the second season in a row.
