Advantage: Syracuse

Basketball Program Hashtag:

None vs #GoDeacs

Can’t ask for anything better.

Advantage: Wake Forest

Program pandering:

A new category where we look at the programs and see what they are trying to do to garner support from the fans.

Let’s hope the Orange win this one or it could be an awkward ceremony.....(and honestly maybe this shouldn’t have been done on Senior Day where it’s forced to a post-game slot)

Advantage: Syracuse because now if you leave early you’re saying you Gerry and Hak aren’t worth your time

Prediction:

Pain. One way or another. Pain.....Syracuse 81-78
