3 Syracuse vs. 14 Indiana St., 9:57 PM ET, truTV
Syracuse is back in the tournament looking to avenge it’s early exit last year in the Sweet 16. The Orange is coming off an overtime loss to UConn in the Big East Tournament, but had won six straight before that.
Starting Lineups
Syracuse: Kris Joseph F, Rick Jackson F, Baye Moussa Keita F, Scoop Jardine G, Brandon Triche G
Indiana State: Carl Richard G-F, Myles Walker C, Aaron Carter G, Dwayne Lathen G, Jake Odum G
Player to Watch: Scoop Jardine, G, Syracuse
If Syracuse is going to make a run for a likely matchup with North Carolina in Newark, NJ, it starts at the point with Jardine. The redshirt junior lead the Big East in assists in the regular season, and if SU is going to be successful, he needs to make smart decisions.
In my bracket: Syracuse
This is a no-brainer in my book. Indiana State just doesn’t have the size to match up with the Orange. Additionally, Syracuse is playing some of its best basketball of the season right now.
