    Unranked Minnesota only +2.5 vs. No. 9 Syracuse

    Ignore the rankings here and dig deeper.

    Expecting about Syracuse -5 based on the "numbers" alone (i.e., Top-10 team on a neutral court against an unranked opponent). Me personally though? I have the Gophers -1.

    Tell me who Minny has to match Christmas and Fair? Ennis should handle the back court fine, and 2x Hollins while good aren't Xmas nor Fair.

    Syracuse last played a week ago and almost lost to St. Francis Brooklyn in the dome. While this was a really poor showing by Syracuse, St. Francis Brooklyn is pretty scrappy and beat University of Miami in Miami already earlier this year. The kids from St. Francis were playing like this was their national championship and Syracuse was sleeping. Syracuse is much better than they played last game so don't base this game on their play last week. Syracuse will show up for this one.

    i rarely base anything off of a teams last gm.. especially when you talking a gm like that with no real interest by the favorite.. just higher on gophers than cuse and to be catching points seems like a solid play..

    Minnesota's been playing good. Syracuse has a ton of talent but with two new point guards (one is a sophomore but barely played last year) they still have some time before the team completely gels. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Minnesota won.

    Syracuse isn't ready to beat a good team yet. I don't know shit about Minnesota though.

    Looking more at Minnesota, it's actually a good match-up for Syracuse. St. Francis gave them trouble because they slowed the game down and made it a half-court game which Syracuse doesn't have their offense figured out yet there. If they want to press and speed the game up, Cuse will be just fine with that and it allows all the athletes to get out and run. Feeling more confident after reading up on 'Sota.
