Syracuse, N.Y. — The Syracuse men's basketball team enters tonight's game against Wisconsin as a five-point favorite according to Vegas Insider despite it being a matchup of teams off to dramatically different starts.
Unbeaten Syracuse (6-0) has looked excellent over the past week, going from unranked to No. 14 in the country thanks to a pair of wins over ranked opponents in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Wisconsin (4-3), meanwhile, fell from the preseason rankings after a season-opening loss to Western Illinois. The Badgers have also lost by double-digits to both Georgetown and Oklahoma.
