While Syracuse will lose three scholarships in each of the next four seasons and will be placed on probation for the next five years, Syracuse still has experienced players in Kaleb Joseph, Trevor Cooney, and Michael Gbinije who led Syracuse to 18 wins with notable victories over Notre Dame and Louisville in the 2014-2015 season.
The Bonnies will have their work cut out for them as the Syracuse crowd will certainly be a factor as the Carrier Dome will be bumping as usual.
Arguably the best backcourt in the A-10, guards Marcus Posley and Jaylen Adams will need to do the bulk of the scoring to steal an away victory. Senior forward Dion Wright will also need to be the "Breakout Player of the Year" Sports Illustrated tabbed him to be this past season.
Look for the matchup to be very similar to when the Bonnies faced the Pittsburgh Panthers at the Petersen Events Center last season. The game should be closely contested, but the Bonnies will need strong play at the end of the second half to hold on to their lead this time around.
