Who's Playing

Lehigh @ Syracuse

Current Records: Lehigh 1-8; Syracuse 5-5

What to Know

The Syracuse Orange will take on the Lehigh Mountain Hawks at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday at Carrier Dome. If the game is anything like their last meeting in November of 2015, where 'Cuse won 57-47, we could be in for a big score.

It was close but no cigar for the Orange as they fell 79-75 to the Georgetown Hoyas on Saturday. One thing holding 'Cuse back was the mediocre play of forward Jimmy Boeheim, who did not have his best game: he played for 39 minutes with 5-for-14 shooting.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored Lehigh last week, but luck did not. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 81-75 to the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks.

'Cuse is now 5-5 while Lehigh sits at 1-8. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Orange are stumbling into the contest with the 15th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.9 on average. The Mountain Hawks have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 39th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
