3) What would you say are the keys to beating Syracuse?

Paul: Well when you play Syracuse, you know you’re going to see that 2-3 zone. So shooting the three over top of the zone is one way to beat the Orange. The other way is to exploit around the foul line, that mid range jumper is going to be open all day long, does Georgia Tech have a guy that can do that? Overall Syracuse is super inconsistent offensively, despite the depth and talent they have. The Yellow Jackets have a really good defense, everyone saw what they did against Virginia Tech, they’re going to be angry heading into this one.
