Head Coach Bench Attire:
I’m not saying these coaches share a similarity but if they swapped outfits at halftime it would probably take everyone until the 2nd media timout to figure out.

Advantage: Syracuse because Boeheim’s got those transition lenses working.
NBA 2K Playability:
Chris Lykes is a player made for a 2k video game. His ability to handle the ball and work around bigger players would be excellent especially in the playground modes.
Advantage: Miami

How can you call yourselves the Birthplace of Swag and not have a Hashtag? That’s L-A-M-E-R than using the same one for five years.
Advantage: Syracuse by forfeit

Boeheim Jacket Toss Meter
6.8/10 If the jacket gets tossed you can safely assume it’s because Dejan Vasiljevic has been left open on the perimeter.
Prediction:
This probably won’t be pretty to watch but Syracuse should be able to finish strong against a team with a shorter bench and hold on for a five-point win 68-63
