Syracuse Orange Set to Clash with Colgate Raiders at JMA Wireless Dome

As the Syracuse Orange prepare to host the Colgate Raiders at the JMA Wireless Dome, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. The Orange have been showing a level of play that suggests they're ready to take on any challenger, and their recent performance against the Golden Griffins is a testament to their prowess on the court.

In their last game on November 9th, Syracuse dominated Canisius with an impressive 89 points against 77. Their offensive strategy was nothing short of spectacular, boasting a field goal percentage of 54 percent and sinking shots from beyond the arc at a rate of 37 percent. The team's ability to score in the paint was particularly noteworthy, contributing a whopping 52 points.

Defensively, Syracuse has also been solid. Their seven blocks and seven steals in that game are indicative of their proactive defense which will be crucial against Colgate. However, it's not just about defense; Syracuse's fast break points stood at 14 compared to Canisius' eight, highlighting their ability to turn defense into offense quickly.

The Orange also showed resilience and strategic play against New Hampshire Wildcats on November 7th where they secured an 83-72 victory. They outrebounded New Hampshire by six and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 18 points off them.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Syracuse as evidenced by their close encounter with Wake Forest Demon Deacons back in March during ACC - Second Round - Game 1 where they narrowly lost with a scoreline of 74-77. Despite this setback, there were positives such as converting three-point attempts at an impressive rate of nearly 59 percent which could be pivotal in overcoming Colgate's defenses.

The upcoming game will require Syracuse Orange (SYR) to maintain its high-scoring momentum while tightening up any defensive lapses that could give Colgate Raiders (COLG) openings. COLG should not be underestimated as they come into this game looking for opportunities to exploit any weaknesses SYR might show.

Fans can expect SYR players like Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard III who have shown consistent performances recently will need another strong outing both offensively and defensively if SYR is going secure victory over COLG.
