Oregon Claims Easy Wins While Syracuse Overcomes Tough Schedule to Win 4 of 5 Games

Oregon has taken advantage of easy opponents in recent games, claiming wins against UTEP and California Baptist. Syracuse, meanwhile, has faced a much tougher schedule, ranking 45th in strength of schedule according to Ken Pomeroy’s ratings. This has allowed them to find a rhythm, winning four of their last five games with convincing victories against LSU and Georgetown. Defensively, both teams are comparable; Oregon allowing 98.6 points per 100 possessions and the Orange at 100.2 points per 100. Although Oregon usually excels from three-point range, Syracuse has held opponents to a below average 30.3% shooting from beyond the arc.
