The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team returns to the JMA Wireless Dome to host the Colgate Raiders for the 147th meeting between the two programs.
Syracuse will look to avoid back-to-back losses to Colgate for the first time since 1962. Colgate is off to a 2-1 start and coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance a season ago.
The Orange are favored in this one by 7.5 points. Here’s our predictions:
Christian
Colgate 85, Syracuse 80
What? A loss this early? To Colgate again?
The Raiders don’t have the same three-point threat that they did last season, but it’s still an efficient offense.
