Syracuse Orange to Battle Cornell Big Red in Women's Basketball Showdown at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to host the Cornell Big Red at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The upcoming clash on December 19th is set against a backdrop of impressive performances by the Orange, who have been showcasing their dominance on the court.

In their recent game against Ohio Bobcats on December 9th, Syracuse triumphed with a commanding score of 82-62. Their offensive prowess was evident as they maintained a consistent scoring streak across all quarters and dominated points in the paint with 40. Notably, their two-point shooting percentage was an impressive 53 percent, and they capitalized on turnovers by scoring 22 points off them. With such robust statistics, it's clear that Syracuse has honed a strategy that maximizes both offensive opportunities and defensive pressure.

The Orange also displayed remarkable resilience in their home game against Northeastern Huskies earlier this month. Despite being tied three times and experiencing one lead change, they emerged victorious with a score of 79-57. Their field goal percentage stood at an efficient 49 percent while converting over half of their two-point attempts. This level of accuracy from close range could spell trouble for Cornell if they fail to disrupt Syracuse’s rhythm.

Furthermore, when facing Alabama Crimson Tide on December 1st at home, Syracuse again proved their mettle by securing another win with a scoreline mirroring that against Northeastern – winning by exactly six points more than what they scored against Ohio Bobcats (79-73). They were particularly lethal from beyond the arc hitting half of their three-point shots which complemented an already potent inside game.

However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge Cornell's capabilities as well; any team stepping onto the court has earned its right through skill and determination. But given Syracuse’s recent form – especially considering how effectively they've been controlling rebounds (51 total rebounds against Ohio) – it seems likely that SU will continue its strong showing.

With these factors in mind, fans should expect another dominant performance from SO when they face COR at home. The synergy between offense and defense for SU appears too synchronized for many teams to handle right now.

Remembering past glories is essential but focusing on future challenges is paramount; thus all eyes will be on whether SU can maintain this momentum going forward into this exciting matchup.

Fans eager to witness this potential spectacle can do so live at JMA Wireless Dome or tune in via local sports networks come tip-off time: December 19th at sharp midnight Eastern Time (ET).
