Syracuse basketball continues its homestand vs the Seattle Redhawks on Saturday. Here are our full crystal ball predictions for this contest.

Syracuse basketball has seen both sides of the coin to start the 2019-20 season.

In the first game of the season, the Orange got blown out by Virginia in embarrassing fashion. Then in the second contest, Syracuse got their offense going vs Colgate and got their first win of the season.

While the next opponent for the Orange has already played double the amount of games. The Seattle Redhawks are 2-2 on the season:

  • 98-64 win vs Pacific Lutheran.
  • 85-54 loss at Washington State.
  • 74-66 loss vs Eastern Washington.
  • 115-81 win vs Pacific University.

This will be the first time in history that Syracuse and Seattle will face off.

"“Redshirt junior Terrell Brown leads the Redhawks’ offense. He is averaging 22.5 points per game. Redshirt senior Myles Carter also averages double figures in scoring (16.3 ppg.). Last season, Brown was named to the All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Second Team in his first year of eligibility after attending Shoreline Community College for one season. Carter, who transferred to Seattle from Seton Hall, was named to the 2018-19 WAC All-Defensive First Team,” per the Syracuse press release."

Here are our full crystal ball predictions, who needs to be an x-factor in this game, and why Syracuse shouldn’t overlook this Seattle team.
