Notre Dame was 7-5 through their first 12 games, losing to St. Bonaventure, Syracuse, Marquette, Georgia and Florida State. The Irish are 2-3 in their last five outings with losses to Miami-FL, Boston College and North Carolina. 

In their matchup versus Georgia Tech on Tuesday, the Irish scored 30 points in the first half, 35 in the second and eight in overtime for a tense 73-72 victory. Notre Dame’s Dane Goodwin led the team on 19 points with 12 rebounds. 

Over on the Syracuse side, they were 8-4 after 12 games with losses to Colgate, St. John’s Bryant and Illinois. The Orange have since gone 3-2 with wins over Boston College, Louisville and Virginia Tech. 

In the Virginia Tech game on Wednesday, the Orange posted a 43-37 advantage by halftime. Syracuse managed a 39-35 advantage in the second half, winning 82-72. Joseph Girard led the way on 24 points, and Maliq Brown doubled with 11 points and 12 rebounds. 

PICK: I’m going to try Syracuse here. We should have a pretty entertaining matchup on our hands, though. The Orange took care of a pretty good Virginia Tech team in their last outing, shooting 50.8 percent from the field with a 37-36 rebounding advantage. Syracuse has scored pretty well lately with 70 or more points in eight of their last nine games. As for Notre Dame, they’re coming off a gutsy win over Georgia Tech but they’ve failed to crack 65 points in four of their last five outings. I like the Irish to put up a good effort here but I’m leaning Syracuse cover-wise. Should be a fun one.
