Syracuse (No. 64 in the NCAA’s NET Ratings) is coming off a 69-61 home win over the Pittsburgh Panthers last Saturday afternoon. The Orange were led by Buddy Boeheim (21 points) and Marek Dolezaj (17 points, 7 rebounds). The Cuse has captured five straight games to get itself back into the post-season hunt. At least an NIT bid is likely now, barring a collapse down the stretch of the season, and the Orange have at least a longshot path to an NCAA at-large bid. That would have been unthinkable just 17 days ago when Syracuse was sitting at 8-7.
Clemson (No. 81 in NET) comes into the Syracuse contest after an 80-62 loss at No. 6 Louisville last Saturday. The Tigers are led this season by 6’8 junior forward Aamir Simms (13.8 points, 7.6 rebounds per game). The team owns a win over Duke, posted two weeks ago.
Tuesday’s contest is the 10th all-time meeting between Syracuse and Clemson, with the Tigers leading the series 5-4. Clemson beat the Orange 67-55 at Littlejohn Coliseum last March 9 to close out last year’s regular season.
ESPN’s College Basketball Power Index (BPI) gives Syracuse a 44.4 percent chance of beating the Tigers. The projected point differential is Clemson by 1.4 points. The sports analytics website TeamRankings.com says the Orange have a 44.5 percent chance of winning the game.
