Betting Trends for vs
The Syracuse Orange have emerged as the 4th best team in the ACC as they bring a 6-3 conference record into this matchup, and they have been fairly solid on both sides of the court in those games as they are averaging 71.6 PPG while holding their opponents to 64.8 PPG. The Orange have developed one of the top-scoring duos in the ACC as Buddy Boeheim and Elijah Hughes are combing for 37 PPG, and the majority of their work has been done from behind the three-point line as Boeheim is connecting on 39.5% of his attempts while Hughes is at 34.8%. The Clemson Tigers own a very impressive win over Duke, but the rest of their season has been disappointing, and their biggest problem has been scoring the basketball as they only average 67.4 PPG in ACC games. The Syracuse zone is tough, and they will make life difficult for an already struggling Clemson scoring attack. Final Score Prediction, Syracuse Orange win and cover ATS 72-66.
