Syracuse Orange Set to Battle St. John's Red Storm at Barclays Center

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to face off against the St. John's Red Storm at the Barclays Center, fans can anticipate an exciting clash in Brooklyn. The upcoming game, scheduled for November 23rd, will be a test of resilience and strategy for both teams.

The Syracuse Orange have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Richmond Spiders, they secured a hard-fought victory with 74 points to Richmond's 71 after pushing into overtime. This win was characterized by strong defensive plays, resulting in nine blocks and ten steals while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly two.

Prior to that, the team enjoyed a comfortable win over Northeastern Huskies with a scoreline of 76-48 at home. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an impressive 53 percent from the field and dominated points in the paint with 44.

However, this streak of success was preceded by a setback against Colgate Raiders where Syracuse fell short by scoring 68 points to Colgate’s 80. Despite shooting well from the free-throw line at an efficiency of 80 percent during that game, their three-point attempts were less fruitful with only a 32 percent success rate.

The venue could play its part; Barclays Center is known for its energetic atmosphere which might influence both teams' performances but particularly challenge Syracuse as they step into what could be considered St. John’s territory.

In preparation for this encounter, fans should look out for how Syracuse will adjust defensively against St. John’s and whether they can maintain their offensive efficiency under pressure away from home.
