The Orange have been on a roll with recent victories showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. In their last game against Niagara's Purple Eagles, they put up 83 points with an efficient field goal percentage of 48 percent and dominated in points in paint with 44. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was an impressive 2.75, indicating a strong team dynamic and ball movement.


Against Oregon Ducks, another win was notched by maintaining high shooting accuracy; they hit 57 percent from the field and scored half of their points in paint (50 out of 83). Their defense also stepped up by forcing turnovers which led to scoring opportunities – they capitalized on these for a total of 23 points off turnovers.


When playing away against Georgetown Hoyas, Syracuse managed an important victory with an equally commendable performance. They shot well from both inside (56 percent two-point shooting) and outside (46 percent three-point shooting), while also converting free throws at a rate of 74 percent.


The trend is clear: Syracuse has been excelling in converting shots efficiently while keeping turnovers low and exploiting fast-break opportunities. Their ability to score both inside and outside makes them versatile opponents for any team.


Louisville Cardinals will be facing this multifaceted attack head-on. Fans should expect another high-energy game where Syracuse will look to leverage its home-court advantage at JMA Wireless Dome – known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as a sixth man for the home side.


Mark your calendars for February 8th; tip-off is scheduled at midnight UTC time zone (7 PM Eastern Time). The game will be broadcasted nationally on ACC Network channel number six hundred twelve for those who wish to catch all the action live but cannot make it to the dome itself.
