Syracuse Orange Set to Clash with Oakland Golden Grizzlies at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to host the Oakland Golden Grizzlies at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The upcoming game promises to be an exciting matchup, and here's what supporters of the Orange should expect.

The Syracuse Orange have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last three games, they've experienced both narrow defeats and victories. Their most recent game against Notre Dame ended in a thrilling one-point win (62-61), showcasing a strong two-point shooting performance with an impressive 63 percent conversion rate but struggling from beyond the arc at just 17 percent.


However, this victory followed a tough loss against Illinois (44-73) where Syracuse struggled offensively across the board. Their field goal percentage dipped significantly to 28 percent, and turnovers were high at 17 for that game. This inconsistency will be something they'll look to address as they face Oakland.


On home turf earlier against Bryant, Syracuse narrowly lost by one point (72-73). Despite this loss, there were positives; they had a solid two-point field goal percentage of 50 percent and managed to secure more rebounds than Bryant with a total of 43 compared to Bryant's 36.


The JMA Wireless Dome has been kinder to Syracuse than away venues; however, maintaining consistency on both ends of the floor will be crucial for success. Fans can expect Syracuse to leverage their home-court advantage while aiming for improved three-point shooting and ball security after mixed performances in these areas over recent games.


The scheduled clash between Syracuse Orange and Oakland Golden Grizzlies is set for December 6th at JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY. Fans can catch all the action live on ACC Network starting from 23:00 UTC.
