The defense is ranked 197th, and it’s going ot need the defense that steps up here, especially on the road. Nate Laszewski is averaging 13.6 points while shooting 53.1 percent from the field.

The last time these two teams faced off the game was lower scoring, but I expect the pace to be faster in this game. Syracuse scored 82 points in the last game, and at home they are going to continue the hot shooting. Notre Dame will get over their season average of 69.5 points and this game will be a shootout. Back the over to cash here with ease.
