The Syracuse Orange basketball team is gearing up for a significant challenge as they host the 13th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers in the ACC/SEC Challenge. This marks Syracuse's fourth consecutive game against a quadrant one opponent, a testament to their demanding non-conference schedule.
Unfortunately, the Orange will be without Donnie Freeman, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury. This absence will be his fourth consecutive game. On the Tennessee side, J.P. Estrella is also out due to an ankle injury sustained in their previous game. Intriguingly, Estrella was once a recruit for Syracuse.
This matchup is attracting considerable attention, with seven NBA scouts expected to be present, including one G-League scout. Tennessee holds a historical edge in the series, leading 5-3 and having won the last four contests.
