Syracuse basketball has won five of its last six games and possess a confidence at this point in the season. They’ll need that and some in its biggest game of the season vs a top-10 ranked Duke Blue Devils squad.
Duke has only lost three games all year (Stephen F. Austin, Clemson, and Louisville) and is primed for another NCAA tournament run. Understandably the Blue Devils are overwhelming favorites in this game with ESPN BPI Analytics giving Duke a 78 percent chance to finish the job vs the Orange.
Syracuse is barely in the March Madness conversation, but that can all change with an upset win over Duke in the dome on Saturday.
