The Orange have been on an impressive run, dominating their past games with decisive victories. On December 21st against St. Francis (PA), they put on a scoring clinic, racking up 85 points to their opponent's 43. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot 42 percent from the field and an outstanding 78 percent from the free-throw line. Moreover, their defense was suffocating; they amassed a total of 59 rebounds and blocked five shots.


Another testament to their dominance was evident in the game against Cornell on December 19th where Syracuse emerged victorious with a score of 78-71. Despite being tested throughout the game with four ties and five lead changes, SYR showed resilience and adaptability under pressure.


The team's consistency continued in Athens against Ohio University where they secured an 82-62 win on December 9th. The Orange maintained control throughout all quarters, demonstrating both offensive efficiency by shooting over half of their two-point attempts successfully and defensive tenacity by forcing turnovers that led to easy points.


Looking ahead at FSU, it is clear that Syracuse has built momentum that could very well carry them through this next challenge. The Seminoles will need more than just determination to overcome SYR's balanced attack which has proven capable of dismantling defenses inside-out.


While it would be unwise to underestimate Florida State Seminoles' ability to compete fiercely – after all, any given game can swing unpredictably – there is ample evidence suggesting that Syracuse Orange have honed a winning formula capable of delivering yet another triumph for their fans.


Mark your calendars for January 19th when these two teams will battle it out at JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse. Tip-off time is yet to be announced but rest assured that you won't want to miss this encounter between two competitive teams vying for victory in front of what promises to be an electrifying crowd.
