DePaul at Syracuse scouting report

DePaul (7-22, 1-16) at Syracuse (24-6, 11-6)

When: 3 p.m. at Carrier Dome

TV: WCUU (Ch. 26.2)

Radio: WSCR 670-AM

The skinny: DePaul wraps up the regular season at No. 12 Syracuse. While the Blue Demons already have clinched the No. 16 seed in next week’s Big East tournament (they’ll kick off the tourney against the No. 9 seed at 11 a.m. Tuesday), the Orange can clinch a double-bye into the quarterfinals with a win on Senior Day. Syracuse, which just defeated Villanova and Georgetown on the road, had a week to prepare for DePaul. It’s probably fair to say coach Jim Boeheim reminded his team a time or 12 during that the Demons led Syracuse most of the way last year at Allstate Arena before the Orange escaped with a 59-57 win.
