Syracuse basketball seeks to get back into the victory column when the Orange hosts Indiana on Tuesday night as part of this year’s ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
The ‘Cuse (3-3) has lost three of its last four games, and its 2-3 zone defense has a lot of work to do if the Orange wants to entertain a Big Dance berth in a few months. In its three most recent setbacks, to Colgate, VCU and Auburn, the Orange zone didn’t look good at all, and the same can be said in the team’s recent conquest of Arizona State, when the ‘Cuse allowed 84 points in an eight-point triumph.
The Hoosiers (6-0) are perfect to date in the 2021-22 term, although Indiana hasn’t played a ton of formidable opponents as of yet. All-time, the Orange is 5-1 versus the Hoosiers, with that one blemish occurring in heart-breaking fashion in the championship contest of the 1987 NCAA Tournament.
The ‘Cuse has a chance here to right the ship, so to speak, and dispatch of a quality foe on the Orange’s home turf. Let’s see how the ‘Cuse responds after a rough showing in the Bahamas last week.

Syracuse vs. Indiana Prediction Tonight
I love my Orange, but I’m not feeling super optimistic about the current roster for the moment. In the Bahamas over the holiday weekend, the ‘Cuse went 1-2, although it did suit up versus multiple good squads.
The main concern for me is that the Orange’s 2-3 zone was completely exposed at the 2021 Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis, and the ‘Cuse does seem to be lacking in the athleticism department.
Now, the 2021-22 campaign is in its infancy, so the Orange has time to turn things around. However, Indiana is a solid group that has yet to lose in the present stanza, and I’m going to project a Hoosiers win over the ‘Cuse on the Hill.
