The Syracuse Orange and St. John’s Red Storm face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at the Barclays Center. This is a huge early-season test for both of these squads. 

The Syracuse Orange come into this game with a 3-1 record but they were really tested on Monday against the Richmond Spiders. They blew a lead in the second half, and it took overtime to win 74-71. Joseph Girard III had a huge game finishing with 31 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Syracuse is averaging 77 points per game while their defense is giving up 67.8 points per game. Giard and Judah Mintz have both had big starts to the season and are currently averaging 18 points per game. In this game, Syracuse is going to need the defense to step up. Other guys around Giard and Mintz also both need to step up. 

St. John’s comes into this game with a 5-0 record and they are coming off a big win on Monday. St. John’s had to really fight against Temple, but the 46 points scored in the second half was enough to secure the 78-72 victory. St. John’s is averaging 83.8 points while their defense is giving up 67.2 points per game. This isn’t a team that is great with the defense, but their offense is elite, and they are going to try and push the pace again here. Forward David Jones has been the top player averaging 17.8 points while shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from behind the three point line. There are four different players that are averaging at least 10.5 points per game. 

These are two teams that want to push the pace, and there will be very little defense played by either team. St. John’s is averaging 83.3 points per game and both teams should get over that number here. Look for a big game from Mintz and Girard and that will lead to this game going over the total.
