Syracuse men’s basketball vs. Miami preview: Five things to watch

With just a single game left in the regular season, the Syracuse Orange come into Saturday’s game off an impressive 13-point win over the Boston College Eagles. That game, like many this season for SU, started slow, but finished at a furious pace.
