Kentucky (+2) at South Carolina- Kentucky, 74-68
Syracuse (-2.5) at Seton Hall- Syracuse, 80-77
Mississippi State (+3.5) at Vanderbilt- Vanderbilt, 83-75

Sorry I don’t have time for a Syracuse preview, but I’ll offer this: Syracuse, despite a very mediocre overall profile, is still in the picture for the NCAA Tournament. After a crushing defeat on Saturday against Pittsburgh, I expect Jim Boeheim to have his team ready to go. There will be a good deal of Syracuse fans in the house, but SHU should have a good home advantage with the sold out crowd. I also expect Coach Gonzalez to have the Pirates ready to play after suffering a similar defeat on Saturday as well. It will be a close, high scoring game, but I think Syracuse has just enough talent to get past their depth issues and pick up a big road win in their quest to get into the NCAA Tournament.
Syracuse 80, Seton Hall 77
