Syracuse at TCU

Syracuse brings plenty of tournament experience and Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone into this one. The Orange played two nights ago, winning 60-56 over Arizona State as a dog. Syracuse held a top-15 offense to 56 points on 40 percent shooting. Syracuse is also on an 11-5 ATS run against the Big 12. They are a dog again to a Texas Christian squad that will be without one of its best players in point guard Jaylen Fisher. Fisher was averaging 12.3 points and 5.4 assists when he tore his meniscus in January. This is new territory for TCU, making its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1998. The Horned Frogs haven't played in eight days and are inconsistent on defense. Play Syracuse straight-up.
