We’ve got the final home game of the season for the Syracuse basketball squad vs Virginia. Here’s how it’s going to play out on Monday evening.

Is it really already the end of the regular season for the Syracuse basketball squad? Seems crazy to think about this roller coaster of a ride. I can only imagine how the five seniors feel who will be putting on that Orange uniform for the final time in the Carrier Dome:

  • Frank Howard
    • What a crazy ride it has been for Frank Howard who went from shooting guard to point guard. From benchwarmer to a key cog in the Sweet 16 run last season. It sucks that an injury robbed him of what looked to be perhaps his best season ever in Orange, guess we’ll never know.
  • Paschal Chukwu
    • I’m not afraid to admit that Paschal and I have had a very love vs hate relationship. His size and potential intrigued me. Paschal’s hands befuddled me. But ultimately his kindness swayed me. Cheers to Syracuse finally finding a big man who can deliver.
  • While the other three players are benchwarmers, it’s awesome they stuck it out and provided everything they could in practice to make Syracuse as good as humanly possible.
    • Adrian Autry
    • Ky Feldman
    • Antonio Balandi

On top of the emotions of Senior Night, Syracuse has a basketball game to play against one of the best teams in the country in Virginia. The Cavaliers have only lost two games all season and both of those were to the Duke Blue Devils.

So how will this game play out on Monday night? We polled our expert panel to hear what they had to say. Check out our predictions in the following slides, then share your comments below and on social media!
