Syracuse enters its last game of the regular season against Miami feeling pretty good after a decent win over BC on the road.

The Orange needs to carry the momentum from the last game into this one because it’s another hard environment to play in at Coral Gables. The Orange will need to look to Buddy Boeheim, Elijah Hughes, and Joe Girard to hit outside shots.

The Hurricanes aren’t known to defend the three-ball well this year so the Orange needs to hit their shots and put this game away early. If the Orange interior can rebound well on both sides of the ball, then this one may not be close.

The Orange are the superior team here all-around so if they lose they can only blame themselves. I see the Orange winning 79-63 in a blowout victory. Let’s go Orange!
