Syracuse Orange Set to Clash with Northeastern Huskies at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to host the Northeastern Huskies at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are anticipating a competitive matchup. The Orange have shown a mixed performance in their recent outings, which sets the stage for an intriguing contest.

In their last game against Colgate Raiders, Syracuse fell short with 68 points against Colgate's 80. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their free throw accuracy stood out at an impressive 80 percent. However, they struggled from beyond the arc with only a 32 percent success rate on three-pointers and will look to improve on that front.

Prior to that game, Syracuse secured a commanding victory over Lehigh Mountain Hawks scoring 90 points and showcasing offensive efficiency by shooting over half of their field goals successfully. Their two-point field goal percentage was particularly strong at approximately 56 percent. This win also featured a balanced attack with significant contributions across the board.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Syracuse to capitalize on their home-court advantage in the JMA Wireless Dome—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes the home team. Consistency will be key for Syracuse; maintaining their high free throw percentage while improving three-point shooting could be decisive factors in securing another win.

Defensively, they'll need to replicate or exceed past performances where they've demonstrated solid rebounding and shot-blocking abilities. With these elements combined—efficient scoring inside and improved perimeter shooting—the Orange can set themselves up for success against Northeastern.
