Cuse opens as 3.5 point underdogs at Clemson

[cliftonparksufan]

Both teams coming off bad losses. Clemson has lost four out of five but are 7-1 at home in conference.

Cuse is 5-3 on the road with two big conference games this week. Proverbial backs against the wall for Syracuse.

This game means nothing at all for the Orange.
Syracuse must win the ACC tournament to make the dance.Maybe a win helps their NIT chances but getting their doors blown off by Duke ended any hope of making the NCAA tournament unless they win the ACC tournament.

Yes, I was not implying that Syracuse had a shot at an at large bid. Just that they need to show signs of life and revert back to wins or at least a very competitive game.

Right now the spread is up to 4 points and over 80% of bettors have taken Clemson. Maybe 80% of Cuse fans feel the same way.

This needs a big job by JAB and the coaching staff to get everyone refocused on this game. Being on the road is not the worst thing at this point.

This game means a lot for seeding. SU needs to get in the six or seven spot.

Back the truck up for Syracuse money line. Clemson is basically on life support right now. Hopefully Brownell gets let go when the season ends...

Not at all. Its a chance to potentially hop in front of a bubble team.

4-0 and a loss in the ACCT Finals could get us in. Clemson is playing their way out of the tournament quickly. A lot of teams that might be in right now won't be if they lose 2 regular season games and quickly in their conference tournament.

If we win tonight we just have a revenge Pitt game and 2 easy home ones left.

Not having the @ Miami win is the one that really stings though since we aren't that far off.
