Weekend picks: Boeheim returns as Syracuse hosts North Carolina

Posted Jan 8, 2016
The Carrier Dome will be at a fever pitch with Jim Boeheim returning from his NCAA-mandated nine-game suspension and the blue-chip Tar Heels in the house. Unfortunately, emotion alone won’t be enough to rescue the Orange from their doldrums. This team has many flaws, but the most significant is its poor interior defense. Prediction: North Carolina 82, Syracuse 70 (Sports Illustrated)
