Syracuse (8-8, 2-3 ACC) will face its toughest conference opponent yet when it hosts Louisville Tuesday. The Cardinals are 12-5 overall and the 5-1 in the ACC thus far under first-year coach Pat Kelsey. Point guard Chucky Hepburn leads the way for Louisville, averaging 15.1 points, 5.6 assists and 2.6 steals per game. Louisville has also won six straight games, with wins over Clemson, North Carolina, Virginia and Pittsburgh in that span.
One of the biggest reasons for the Orange’s recent success is the return of J.J. Starling. The junior guard is averaging 19.8 points this season, but was injured for over a month. His first game back was Jan. 4, and in the past two games Starling scored 21 and 26 points.
Freshman forward Donnie Freeman is the Orange’s second-highest scorer this season, averaging 13.4 points per game. He’s missed the past two games with injury, but Jyare Davis has stepped up for Syracuse and been another one of the primary reasons it has won the past two games. He’s averaging 10 points and 8.5 rebounds in 33 minutes per game during the past two.
Both Starling and Davis will have to come up big against the Cardinals for the Orange to have a chance of winning. Louisville is currently 7.5-point road favorites (-285) to beat Syracuse Tuesday. The over/under is 152.5.
