Niagara vs. Syracuse

It has been a tough go for Syracuse with Covid-19. Coach Jim Boeheim contracted the disease, which shut down the program until Thanksgiving. They had all of one day to prepare for Bryant and squeaked out a one-point win. Worse than that, 6-10 senior Bourama Sidibe went down with a torn meniscus in that contest. I would expect the Syracuse zone to be much better and Niagara is hitting the floor for the first time this season as they have dealt with their own Covid issues. These teams met last year only to see Niagara muster 57 points on just 6-27 shooting from deep, and the Cuse managed just 71 points. This is too early for a big offensive game, and not a ton of offense on the floor to begin with. Make the play on the UNDER.
