GT is coming into this game with an 11-15 record overall and they are 3-5 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 16th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 4-11 in their conference games this season. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. Their 3 losses in that span were against the Miami Hurricanes, the Virginia Cavaliers, and the NC State Wolfpack while their win came against the Pittsburgh Panthers in their last game. Michael Devoe led the team in points in that game with 22 while Rodney Howard was next on the team with 14 points. Jordan Usher and Kyle Sturdivant both led the team in assists in that game with 5 each while Usher led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 46.4% from the field, 33.3% from 3-point range, and 90.9% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 68.7 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 69.5 PPG against them. GT has an ATS record of 8-16-1 this season and their O/U record is 11-14.

 

 

Syracuse is coming into this game with a 14-12 record overall and they are 10-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 16th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 8-7 in their conference games this season. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one off a win in their last game. Their last loss was against the Virginia Tech Hokies while their 5 wins in that span came against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, the NC State Wolfpack, the Louisville Cardinals, the Boston College Eagles, and BC again in their last game.

Symir Torrence led the team in assists in that game off the bench with 5 while Jimmy Boeheim led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 50.8% from the field, 43.5% from 3-point range, and 54.5% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 77.4 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 73.8 PPG against them. Syracuse has an ATS record of 14-12 this season and their O/U record is 12-14.

 

GT has not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming off of a win in their last game but they had lost 3 straight prior to that win and all 3 of those games were lost by 9 or more points. They have struggled against conference opponents this season with a 4-11 record and they have even been bad on the road as well as they are 3-5 in those games. They are going up against a Syracuse side that has not been great either but they are still a solid 10-3 at home this season and have a winning record of 8-7 against conference opponents. Syracuse has been gaining some steam recently as they have won 5 of their last 6 games and they will be trying to finish out their season on a run. Their coach has been there for 46 seasons and has never had a losing one yet. Syracuse does not have a favorable schedule left as their last 4 games are all against a top 4 team in the ACC right now. They will take advantage of the weaker opponent here and use this game to get another win to keep that winning season alive. Syracuse has been playing very well at home this season as well so they will likely win this game by double digits and continue on their hot streak.

“It’s very difficult because we feel like we can compete with anybody in this league. We’ve just got to figure it out.“ - Kyle Sturdivant on their rough season this year.

 

 

"He’s been pretty good in practice. He’s practiced the whole practice. He hasn’t come out. He hasn’t had to go in the locker room or the training room for the whole practice for two, three weeks now, at least. His timing’s just not quite there. Balls he’d normally catch and put in, he’s just not quite there yet." - Jim Boeheim on Bourama Sidibe.
