There's already some analysis on the board. Like you, I'm just becoming a fan of the Orangewomen  right now. I looked it up on ESPN and there are two common opponents:

Maryland: Syracuse lost at Maryland 64-82 on December 2nd. Connecticut beat them 83-73 at home on December 28.  That's +28 of Connecticut.

Florida State: Syracuse beat them 83-73 at home on February 18th. Connecticut beat them 73-49 at home on December 11. That's +14 for Connecticut.

Connecticut has been strong all season and four years. Syracuse has gotten a lot better. But I think it's how they fit together. As I said above, we rely on the press, the three and the offensive rebound. If they break the press and we miss threes, they are likely to win the boards and we are likely to get killed. One of our big three is going to have to work to avoid a huge blow out. Two will have to work to give us a chance and all three will have to work for us to win it. That's more important than the above numbers.
