Clash at JMA Wireless Dome: Syracuse Orange to Host Georgetown Hoyas

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to welcome the Georgetown Hoyas to the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are eager for what promises to be an exciting matchup. The Orange have been showing a strong trend in their recent performances, which should give them confidence heading into this game.

In their last outing against the Golden Grizzlies, Syracuse put on an offensive clinic, scoring 95 points with a field goal percentage of 58 and a particularly impressive two-point shooting performance at 65 percent. Their defense was also on point with ten steals and four blocks. This high-scoring affair was complemented by excellent ball distribution, as evidenced by their 27 assists.


The previous game against Notre Dame showcased Syracuse's resilience on the road with a narrow victory of 62 points over Notre Dame's 61. Despite a lower three-point shooting percentage of just about 17 percent, they maintained a solid two-point field goal percentage at approximately 63 percent and demonstrated good ball security with only four turnovers.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Orange; they faced challenges in Champaign against Illinois' Fighting Illini. Scoring only 44 points and struggling from both the field (28 percent) and beyond the arc (29 percent), turnovers were also an issue as they gave up possession seventeen times.


Despite these ups and downs, playing at home in front of their fans could provide that extra boost needed for success. The JMA Wireless Dome has been known to energize the home team while putting pressure on visitors – something that could play into Syracuse's hands as they look to capitalize on their strong offensive capabilities shown in recent games.


Fans can catch this thrilling encounter scheduled for December 10th at 6 PM Eastern Time live on ABC from anywhere across the nation. With both teams looking to assert dominance early in the season, it is sure not one to miss!
