The Syracuse basketball squad and the Duke Blue Devils will square off for a third time this season in the ACC Tournament. Here’s how it’ll play out.
The Syracuse basketball squad found a way to take out the Pitt Panthers in the second round of the ACC Tournament. Now Syracuse will have to play one of the favorites to cut down the nets in April: the Duke Blue Devils.
Syracuse and Duke have already squared off twice this season with each team coming away with a victory. The Orange won the first matchup in overtime and everything seemed to go right for the Cuse. The second matchup saw Syracuse make it a game in the first half before running out of steam late.
Duke is already locked in the tournament so their lone motivation is winning another ACC Tournament. Zion Williamson is expected to return while for the Orange Tyus Battle isn’t expected to play. Not a great recipe for success at least from an Orange perspective.
