ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Syracuse is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Their record this season is 16-17, and the club is ranked 65th overall (out of 358) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 15 schools in the ACC (average ranking 82.1), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Syracuse is one of the very most competent offensive teams in the country. Ranked 17th in offensive efficiency, they'll rack up more than 112 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Syracuse is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They can be considered sharpshooters out on the perimeter, converting 38.0% of their three-pointers (13th in the nation), 41.7% of their mid-range chances (33rd), and 46.4% of their total shots from the field (48th) vs. AO. Syracuse also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 38th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.01 vs. AO.

Though they're not quite as efficient defensively as they are offensively, Syracuse still does OK when the opposition has possession of the ball. The team ranks 175th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Syracuse does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 19.87 vs. AO, they are currently rated 35th in the country in that category. Syracuse also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #45 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.4% of their total attempts from the floor. If Syracuse does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 88.94 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 13th-worst in college basketball.

Syracuse has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 325th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
