Tuesday nights NCAA basketball likelihood board includes a couple of showdowns in the ACC/Big Six Challenge. The matchup between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Syracuse Orange is not one of them.
Its still large enough to get national television policy and undoubtedly an integral contest. The Orange went out on the lines, 145 the number for scoreboard wagering.
Iowa spent the holiday in the Las Vegas Invitational, before falling in the championship upsetting Texas Tech 72-71 in the very first round. The Hawkeyes were up by 16 in the first half from the Aztecs, but had no answer for Malachi Flynn who netted 28.
Sitting No. 48 on Mondays KenPom, Iowa switched it over 14 days in the reduction to SDSU, above the season average which is one of the best in the nation. Luka Garza struggled offensively in the contest as well, and its going to be intriguing to see him matched up against Bourama Sidibe on Tuesday and Marek Dolezaj.
You have to go all the way back to 1996 to find the time Syracuse missing three times from its first seven games. The Orange dropped both of their games in New York last week throughout the NIT Season Tip-Off, an 86-72 setback to Oklahoma State in the opener since 2-point chalk in Bookmaker, and also an 85-64 rout at the hands of Penn State two days later as little underdogs.
Tuesday is only the fourth matchup between the two apps, and first to emerge at the ACC/Big Six Challenge. The most collision was in New York, the Orange enrolling a upset as 2 1/2 – point underdogs in the consolation contest of the 2014 2K Classic.
It had been Iowa pulling off the angry when the schools met in the 1980 NCAA Tournament, topping No. 1 seed Syracuse at the Sweet 16 at The Spectrum in Philadelphia, 88-77.
Both teams won their challenge matches last season, the Orange while the Hawkeyes survived a scare in the home upsetting Ohio State at Columbus. Iowa has been ACC fodder at the event, since its six matchups have split losing 12 of its 18 games.
Neither team really induces a whole good deal of confidence and that spills into the being something of a puzzle. For being in your home, Ill back the Orange along with my college basketball pick just.
