Syracuse vs. Clemson: Prediction, pick, odds, line, how to watch, live stream, watch online

Syracuse and Clemson kick off what figures to be a loaded day of college hoops on Saturday. The two programs tip at noon ET in Clemson, South Carolina, where both will seek to improve their NCAA Tournament resumes in their final regular season game.

Clemson needs this one more. Despite a similar record to the Orange, the Tigers are among the First Four in at Jerry Palm’s updated Bracket. Meanwhile, ‘Cuse is comfortably in for now as a 9 seed.

Syracuse got the better of the Tigers in the first round in early January, but Clemson’s been a tough out all season at home. It will especially be stingy given what’s at stake for its postseason prospects.
