Analysis
Syracuse is coming into this game with a 2-0 record this season and they have been on fire to start the season. They opened with a 74-58 win at home against New Haven and they are coming off of a 102-49 win at home against Central Connecticut State. They have been shooting very well from the field in both of their games and their 3 point shooting has not been bad either. They have also been rebounding very well and have been much better with defensive rebounds, so they are not going to give a lot of 2nd chances on possessions. Their defense has also been very good in both games as they have done well to limit shot attempts and have not allowed a high percentage of the shots taken. They are going up against an Indiana team that is 2-0 this season and they have been on fire to start the season as well. They opened with a 91-57 win at home against East Illinois and they are coming off of a 92-69 win at home against Bellarmine. They have also been shooting very well from the field this season and their 3 point shooting has not been bad in both games either, but they have not been great from the line and they have not been rebounding well either. They have defended well from 3, but they played 2 teams that were not good and they are going to get a lot more 3's taken against them in this game. They have also done well at limiting shot attempts, but they have still given up a high percentage of the shots taken from the field. Syracuse is going to be able to keep themselves in this game with their offense, but their defense is going to be the difference in this game. Syracuse will cover the spread in this game.
