Feels about right to me.  I wouldn't bet on Syracuse to beat anybody by double digits, but 6.5 seems like its right in the sweet spot.

SBU is a good team, probably the second best team we've played this year, and they are undefeated with Adams in the line up, but they don't match up great with Syracuse.  They get a huge amount of their productivity from their two guards, Adams and Mobley, and SU's zone is starting to show signs of being able to take away a team's top option or two.  I'm not sure if SBU will have enough firepower to beat Syracuse if even one of those two guys has a bad game.

Also they are small and don't rebound well. Brissett, Moyer, and even Chukwu will have a huge mismatch down low, especially once they grab an offensive rebound which they should do a lot of in this game.

Finally, SBU, just played on Wednesday, and Syracuse is notoriously hard to prepare for on one day's notice.

My only worry is Syracuse's health.  They clearly got beat up against UB (unlike SBU who had an easy blow out) and only have two days to heal.  If they come out with a bounce in their step I think they win, but probably not by double digits.
