Louisville at Syracuse

The Syracuse Orange have had season after season where they have been a fixture in the NCAA Tournament with teams capable of a deep run. This season, self-imposed sanctions will keep them out of the postseason. It hasn't been the best of years at The Cuse, who at 16-9 may not have made the NCAA Tournament, so motivation at this point has to be called into question. Louisville is a team that has potential to go deep into the tournament, and at 20-5 they bring a #12 ranked team to the Carrier Dome. Louisville always plays sticky defense, and Syracuse has had trouble offensively all season, making this a difficult matchup. The Syracuse's ride into the ACC has been a rocky one lately as they are 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 in the conference. Take Louisville.
