Syracuse, N.Y. -- The Syracuse men's basketball team will be an underdog in its latest most-important-game-of-the-season on Saturday. The Orange opened as a six-point underdog against the University of Miami, according to the website VegasInsider.com.
The game is scheduled to tip-off at noon on Saturday in Miami's Watsco Center.
It is likely the fourth consecutive game that Syracuse has played that will be called critical to the Orange's NCAA Tournament hopes.
Syracuse reinvigorated its hopes less than two weeks ago by upsetting Louisville on the road and maintained that momentum with a win over Wake Forest.
