Syracuse’s shooting faces a tougher test

Syracuse has made 51% of its field goals and 37% of its three-pointers while scoring 85.3 points per game. Kiyan Anthony leads the Orange at 15.7 points per game, and Ryan Moesch averages 6.0 assists. That combination gives Syracuse more than one way to generate offense against St. John’s.

The Orange opened with a 74-58 win over New Haven and followed it with a 102-49 victory over Central Connecticut. Their closest result was an 83-80 loss to Indiana at a neutral site in Indianapolis. Syracuse still reached 80 points in that defeat, suggesting its offense can remain productive when a game stays tight. The difference between that narrow loss and the two comfortable wins also makes this a useful test: the Orange have shown they can build a lead, but they have not yet turned a close finish into a victory.

St. John’s has started fast at both ends

St. John’s averages 90.7 points, 19.0 assists and 11.3 steals per game, a profile that could put pressure on Syracuse’s possessions. Keyshawn Hall leads the Red Storm with 18.7 points per game, while Quinn Ellis averages 9.0 assists. Their early production gives St. John’s a clear route to creating shots without relying on one scorer.

The Red Storm have won all three completed games, beating Monmouth 78-63, Iona 104-65 and Colgate 90-59. The Iona game was at Madison Square Garden, while the other two were at Carnesecca Arena. St. John’s scored at least 90 points in its last two outings, but its lowest-scoring game was also its closest result. That pattern leaves room for Syracuse to make this competitive if it can keep St. John’s from turning the game into another high-scoring win. So far, though, the Red Storm have held every opponent to 65 points or fewer.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: St. John's Red Storm.

St. John’s gets the nod on the strength of three wins and consistent scoring restraint against its opponents. Syracuse’s 80-point showing in a close loss to Indiana makes an Orange challenge plausible.
