Stephen F. Austin at Syracuse

Friday’s action begins with Syracuse taking on Stephen F. Austin. The Cuse expended a lot of energy in the Big East Conference Tournament, both physically and emotionally, and you wonder the impact it will have in a game against a no-name team. We have seen them falter in this situation many times come tourney time, most recently their loss to Vermont a few years ago. The Lumberjacks went to College Station to face A&M early on, where the Aggies hardly ever lose, and played them even for 30 minutes before A&M broke loose for just a seven-point win. This team plays slow, as no one has topped 67 points against them in their last 17 games. I will take them here, along with the UNDER.
