Today: Syracuse 1h -7.5
Gunna take the Orange in the first half to be up by double digits. If St. Johns covers I think it will be with a strong 2nd half push. Cuse gets Melo back today so he should disrupt alot of shots in the middle today and grab plenty of rebounds. St. Johns has been a better 2nd half team all year, their 1st half scoring differential is -3.0, and they outscore opponents by about 1.5 in the 2nd half and the Orange outscore opponents by 12.3 in the 1st half compared to +5 in the 2nd half. St. johns doesnt shoot the ball all that well and I think the 2-3 zome will force them to make shots they simply just cannot. The game is at the Garden so I really dont see a strong homecourt advantage for either the Johnnies, if anything Syracuse feels right at home in the Garden. Look for the Orange to be up 11 by halftime. Get some! Thoughts welcome... GL everyone
