Stephen Bailey: Syracuse 70, Clemson 51
This time around
The Orange finally wins one easy. In a conference season filled with upset scares and exciting endings, SU uses a late-first half run to bury the Tigers. Clemson will be lucky if it matches the 49 points its football team put up in the Carrier Dome this fall.

Not Dabo’s Tigers
Clemson took it to the Orange last time teams from the two schools squared off the Carrier Dome. SU will at least make up for a little bit of that today and finally pull out an easy victory thanks to some much needed days off.

Thrashing the Tigers
Syracuse finally gets the lopsided win it hasn’t had since Jan. 7 against Virginia Tech. K.J. McDaniels will do his thing, but Clemson simply doesn’t have enough talent to hang with the Orange. You know the drill at this point…SU wins and remains undefeated.
