LA TECH +5.5 (W)
La Tech's athleticism is an apparent advantage in this one. I have no confidence in Syracuse being able to close a team out with authority. Can they squeeze out a win? Sure they can (that will be just fine in this situation), but I don't even know if they do that today. Not to mention how bad they are from the FT stripe!
Just as advertised. Syracuse just cannot put an opponent away when they have them on the ropes! Until they prove they can, I will be looking for opportunities to fade them. This was at home too. How bad will they be on the road come conference play. Props to La Tech for never giving up and creating offense with defense.
