Syracuse basketball is coming off of a deflating loss to arch-rival Georgetown. Now the Orange will return to the lovely confines of the dome to play another seasoned coach in Greg Kampe for Oakland.
When you look at the longest-tenured coaches in college basketball there’s Jim Boeheim, Mike Krzyzewski, and Greg Kampe of Oakland. He’s been coaching the Golden Grizzlies since 1984 but this year’s team isn’t as good as some of his previous regimes.
For those reasons the metrics lean towards Syracuse as a heavy favorite in this contest. According to the ESPN BPI Analytics, the Orange are a 90.
