Syracuse Basketball: 2 big keys to victory vs Virginia Tech

Syracuse basketball will finish its five-affair stretch on the Hill this Tuesday evening, as the Orange welcomes Virginia Tech to town.

The ‘Cuse (8-6, 1-2) scored in droves this past Saturday afternoon against Notre Dame in Central New York, but Syracuse couldn’t contain the Fighting Irish from deep, or in the paint, and the Orange fell in frustrating fashion by one point.

The Hokies (10-4, 1-2), similar to Notre Dame, shoot a lot from beyond the arc, and they connect from 3-point land at an impressive 37.9 percent clip. That is without question something that the ‘Cuse will have to remain laser-focused on if it seeks to succeed.
