Syracuse basketball will square off against Cornell on Wednesday night. Here are our full predictions of the ‘Boeheim Bowl’ and what to watch out for.

Syracuse basketball has won two straight games (vs Seattle, vs Colgate) and will be looking for a third on Wednesday night vs Cornell. While the Big Red has lost three straight games (vs Bryant, vs NJIT, vs DePaul).

The Orange, as usual, is a huge favorite in this scheduled contest according to the ESPN BPI analytics they are projected to win with a 93.6 percentage.

Although this rivalry goes beyond what’s on the court. This game is dubbed the ‘Boeheim Bowl’ because of all the family ties.

On the Syracuse side, Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim is in the midst of his 44th season on the hill. While his son Buddy Boeheim is a sophomore and is now a starter for the Orange. While on the other side of the court for Cornell is the eldest Boeheim boy: Jimmy.
