With a week break from the NFL Playoffs, we have a nice college basketball matchup tonight between two classic programs. The Syracuse Orange will travel to Chapel Hill to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels, in their first meeting since they squared off in the Final Four last year.
UNC is coming off a great win this past weekend against #9 Florida State, and have won their past four games since losing to Georgia Tech. The Tar Heels are led by junior forward Justin Jackson, who is leading the team in scoring at 17.9 points per game. At 16-3, and second in the ACC, UNC is in prime position to make another deep run in March, like they did last season where they lost on a buzzer beater to Villanova in the title game.
Syracuse on the other hand has not had as much success this season as their counterpart tonight. At 11-7, Cuse is not having a terrible season, but they’re going to need to start reeling off some wins, and most likely win their conference tournament if they want any shot at making the NCAA Tournament, and shock the world like they did last year with a trip to the Final Four. A win on the road tonight against a Top Ten team would be a huge step in the right direction. UNC is clearly the better team on paper, but I don’t think anyone is counting out Syracuse giving them a game. It should be a good one.
