Providence at Syracuse

The wars in the Big East have begun. This physical conference is loaded with five teams in the top 10, one being Syracuse who is off to a 13-0 start. Providence is trying to tackle the upper echelon of the conference and is on the fast track at 11-2 to start. The Friars have gone for 80+ in their last five, but will find a much slower track negotiating the Orange zone, which has been perfected over the years by legendary Coach Jim Boehiem. The Cuse have been stingy at the Dome allowing just 58.5 points per game in their first 10 appearances here. This one is going to be hard pressed to get to a racehorse total posted in the 150s. The Cuse is holding down winning clubs, playing five of the last seven UNDER the total. This one won't get here, so I’m playing UNDER the total.
