The Syracuse men’s basketball team looks for its third straight win when it hosts the Seminoles on Tuesday.
The Orange (11-5, 2-1 ACC) opened league play with a string of solid performances highlighted by the healthy return — and impressive numbers — of forward Donnie Freeman.
In Syracuse’s wins over Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, Freeman averaged 24.5 points, seven rebounds and 54.8 percent shooting from the floor.
Florida State (7-9, 0-3) has struggled in the first year under head coach Luke Loucks.
The Seminoles have gone all-in on 3-point shooting and are currently taking 35.3 per game, more than any team in the country except Alabama.
It appears to be a good matchup for Syracuse, who have been excellent defending the three-point arc, as our Donna Ditota described.
The Seminole strategy isn’t working too well as FSU is connecting on just 31.7 percent.
Guard Robert McCray V leads the way for Florida State averaging 13.7 points per game, while guard Kobe McGee leads the team in 3-pointers and averages 10.9 points per game.
Syracuse’s top football recruit, Calvin Russell, will be wearing a men’s basketball uniform for the first time. He arrived on campus during the past week.
While Syracuse has had a number of standout two-sport athletes throughout its history, Russell is arguably the first football player to debut on the basketball team.
