The Syracuse Orange and Baylor Bears are meeting in a matchup of two ranked teams in the EA Sports Maui Invitational finals on Wednesday night and the game has two undefeated squads as well and the game should be a good one and the matchup will be airing on ESPN starting up at 10:00 pm and streaming online from the WatchESPN website.
Syracuse comes in undefeated through six games and the team is ranked eighth in the nation and they have been playing very well in the early goings and the team looks like it will be one of the best in the ACC this season and they are coming off of a nice win against California at home and the team now will play against the Bears in the finals of the tournament and the team then has a big matchup with Indiana at home as they host the Hoosiers on Tuesday. The team is playing tight defense and is scoring over 75 points per game and the team is averaging over 40 percent from the field and the team is ranked low in rebounding and assists per game, but that should pick up as the season goes on and they look like one of the favorites to make a run in the east. The team has tough games coming up and later they will play against North Carolina as well as Duke.
