Loyola Marymount Lions

In their last game against Cornell, Syracuse Orange achieved success thanks to their impressive shooting display, which knocked down 13 three-pointers as their guards, Judah Mintz and Chris Bell hit five apiece. Syracuse also had a strong defensive performance, blocking nine shots while Cornell blocked only one. Statistically, Mintz leads the team with 19.4 Point-per-Game (PPG) and Paradoxically, his form is a bit streaked, with immense performances followed by lackluster showings. On the other side of the court, Chris Bell has 28 successful threes this season averaging 14 PPG. Naheem McLeod adds 5.4 PPG and 4.8 Rebounds-per-Game (RPG) and Overall, Syracuse rank 102nd in KenPom standings, 120th in offensive efficiency and 89th in defensive efficiency.

UNLV Runnin Rebels Analysis

The Georgetown Hoyas suffered a heartbreaking loss to TCU after a missed call at the buzzer could not be overturned. Jayden Epps led the team with 24 points and leads the team in scoring with 19.1 PPG and assists with 4.5. Epps has been hot lately, scoring 20 or more points in 3 of his last 4 games. Dontrez Styles is another scoring guard, averaging 16.4 PPG and 6.9 RPG, while Ismael Massoud rejoined the team in the past two games contributing 12.5 PPG. The Hoyas rank 175th overall according to KenPom, where their offense is their strength at 86th in the nation, but their defense is 308th in defensive efficiency. Georgetown plays slower than Syracuse and ranks 213th in tempo.

Syracuse a Force to be Reckoned With in Matchup Against Georgetown

Syracuse has an edge in the matchup against Georgetown, having won by 19 points last season and returning two of their top players. Mintz and Bell have played especially well lately, both with five 3-pointers in their last game. Georgetown, with a 308th-ranked defense according to efficiency, are unlikely to be able to shut down Cuse's scorers. Despite a narrow and potentially morale-boosting loss in their previous game, Georgetown's record lacks strength when compared to Syracuse's, with their few wins being against small-scale teams. A large victory over LSU confirms that the Orange have an overall better team with recent dominance in this matchup. It is expected that Syracuse will cover the spread.
