Matchup Breakdown
Syracuse Outlook:
The Orange return guards J.J. Starling and Donnie Freeman to anchor the offense. With transfers William Kyle III and Tyler Betsey adding depth, Syracuse should be improved on the glass. Defensively, they must tighten perimeter pressure after ranking near the ACC bottom last year.
Binghamton Outlook:
The Bearcats rely heavily on Lilley’s interior presence and the rebounding edge he provides. They’ll slow tempo and force half-court possessions to stay within the number.
Key stat: Syracuse allowed 72.3 points per game last year while forcing turnovers on 19 percent of possessions. Binghamton shot under 44 percent from the field and struggled with pressure, which could decide the cover. For additional matchup data, review college basketball picks and daily betting analysis.
