Syracuse at Boston College

For the third time in four years, coach Jim Boeheim has his Syracuse team off to a 16-0 start. There has been one staple in his successful coaching career, and that is the stifling zone defense played by the Orange. The Cuse just held North Carolina to 45 points. And it isn't just the defense, it is the offense that likes to play in the half court. That Carolina game saw both teams attempt just 111 shots, which is getting into Princeton territory. This is not a good BC team, nor one that has a consistent threat from deep as the top five scorers show no player connecting on over 35% from deep. Cuse is 7-1 to the UNDER vs. a team below .400 in their last eight, while BC is an identical 7-1 to the UNDER in their last eight vs. a team with a winning road record. Make the play on the UNDER in this one.
