Syracuse vs. Indiana

the Syracuse Orange were once ranked No. 1 in the country. They started the season at 18-1, so the one thing to be sure of is that this team has an "A" game that can compete with anyone in the country. They have regained the swagger and confidence by winning five of their last six, and have taken on the characteristics of the team that started 18-1. The Hoosiers own a lot of blowout wins this season, but the area they have struggled vs. good defensive teams, and they will see one in the Sweet 16. Indiana lost twice to a strong defensive Wisconsin team, lost to Ohio St., and Butler as well, so this game will be tight. The Hoosiers have not been good in neutral-site games, as they are 7-18-2 ATS in their llast 27. While the Cuse, getting out of the familiar Big East, are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 non-conference tilts. Take the points and back the Cuse.
