Syracuse Game Saturday: Syracuse vs. Florida State Line, Predictions, Odds, TV Channel & Live Stream for Basketball Game Jan. 15

Syracuse basketball got back into the win column earlier this week, and now the Orange looks to sweep its 2021-22 regular-season series with Florida State as the ‘Cuse hosts the Seminoles on Saturday afternoon.

The Orange (8-8, 2-3) snapped its three-game skid when the ‘Cuse defeated long-time rival Pittsburgh this past Tuesday night on the Hill. Prior to that, the Orange had fallen three times in a row in closely fought Atlantic Coast Conference clashes.

In its 16-point triumph over the Panthers, ‘Cuse head coach Jim Boeheim said his team played its best basketball of the current season in the second half against Pitt. Hopefully, that performance will carry over to this Saturday.

Florida State (9-5, 3-2), one of the ACC’s premier squads over the last few years, has captured two victories in a row, both at home, versus Louisville and Miami. FSU has also bested N.C. State in ACC competition.

In early December, the Orange commenced its conference calendar at Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. The ‘Cuse, which has struggled with its defense for much of 2021-22, put the clamps down in its zone against the Seminoles and came away with a huge 63-60 road win.

The ‘Cuse began its present three-contest home-stand with an important conquest of Pittsburgh, and taking down Florida State, a solid ACC group, would really provide the Orange with some nice momentum as conference play moves onward.

But knocking off the Seminoles won’t be easy. FSU uses a really deep bench, playing 11 guys at least 10 minutes per affair, according to ESPN statistics. Boeheim, conversely, is using a short rotation these days, and there’s always a concern about ‘Cuse players getting a tad worn out at the game’s conclusion.

The Seminoles have a better defense than the Orange, but FSU also commits 13.2 turnovers per encounter. The ‘Cuse zone needs to close up Florida State’s passing lanes and force the Seminoles out to the perimeter, where FSU only shoots at a 33.2-percent clip.

I think that the Orange may have found something with its performance in the second half versus Pitt, and I like the ‘Cuse to beat Florida State in Central New York on Saturday afternoon.
