Syracuse Orange Analysis

The Syracuse Orange are seeking their first conference win of the season after losing four of their past five games, including conference losses to Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Florida State. Despite the challenges, the team remains optimistic with the return of key player J.J. Starling, who scored 12 points in his first game back from injury. In addition, Donnie Freeman and Eddie Lampkin Jr. have been consistent performers, while Jyare Davis has struggled with shooting. Syracuse's offense ranks 147th in the country, scoring an average of 76.6 points per game, but their defense is a weakness, allowing an average of 79.7 points per game. The team has not covered the spread in five consecutive games. The Orange will look to improve their performance and secure a much-needed win in their upcoming games.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Dominate While Syracuse Orange Struggle defensively

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are currently on a successful streak, winning three consecutive games and covering in each match. In their conference opener, they nearly pulled off an upset against North Carolina. Meanwhile, the Syracuse Orange are encountering difficulties, losing four out of their last five games, including home losses against Georgetown and Wake Forest. Despite both teams having similar adjusted offensive efficiency numbers, the key disparity lies in their defensive capabilities. The Yellow Jackets are only allowing 102.5 points per 100 possessions, a stark contrast to the weaker Orange defense, which is surrendering 106.9 points per 100 possessions. Syracuse has struggled to remain competitive in recent games, managing to cover the spread in just one of their last eight matchups.
