After a tough opening to the conference schedule on the road at Pittsburgh, things don’t get any easier for Mike Hopkins and Syracuse basketball as they travel to Miami to take on the 13th ranked Hurricanes.
This is an extremely tough matchup for the Orange for a number of reasons. For one thing, Miami is one of the top shooting teams in the country, boasting top 10 in overall field goal percentage and top 15 in 3-point percentage. That is a recipe that could spell disaster for a Syracuse team who’s defense has been hit or miss this season.
