5*
(NCAAB) Middle Tennessee vs. Syracuse,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -105.00 Middle Tennessee (Away)
Result: Loss
Syracuse's selection to the tournament did get some questioning but overall they are not a good team. Dayton missed over 12 layups and putbacks in their game. The way to beat a good zone defense is to knock down outside shots and that is exactly what Mid Tenn St does. Syracuse only plays 7 players and Cooney has been ICE COLD for weeks for the Orange. I get the feeling that the 'Cuse will be able to snuff out upstart Middle Tennessee State who pulled off a major upset of Michigan State on Friday. The Blue Raiders NEVER trailed against Sparty, and I dont expect a letdown here this evening. Take the dog with MID TENN ST.
