Key stretch: Syracuse - Big East Blog - ESPN
I think Syracuse will be better this year and will be highly competitive. I just don't see how it wins any of the games in this stretch. Make it 0-4 to open the conference for the Orange, who will have to hope to rebound with three of their final four games in the Carrier Dome.
