What you need to beat Syracuse is consistent scoring. They are young and talented but prone to lapses. They go on huge runs but give them up as well. Imo every team but Pitt is beatable on a given night. You have to play well to beat Pitt and hope their shots aren't falling. With a league this deep and talented you'll have this. Look at the leagues out of conference record compared to what they are doing to each other. It tells you all you need to know.
