Taking Fla St +10.5, 3 u play
I believe that Fla St bigs (7 ft and 7' 3) will matchup well against the Cuse zone defense and play with the level of intensity they played against Florida.
For Syracuse, they only have one player, Freshman Chris MCoullough @ 6' 10 who can compare in height to Florida Gators size who have players in Horford (6' 10) and Walker(6' 10). Other than that Cuse have the rest of their players at 6' 9. When playing at 7' 3 player one inch can be a big difference.
I think that the size difference allows just enough defense to keep the score close
Also, Cuse only averaging 13 turnovers per game, BUT in losses to Michigan (19 turnovers) and Villanova (20 turnovers) this difference was a game difference maker.
Here are the stats for FLORIDA for the game against Fla St. as you can see FLORIDA was forced to go inside to score against the Seminoles. Also, see that the Gators had 17 turnovers in a LOSS to the Seminoles.

Thanks for reading - any additional thoughts/input is welcomed or why you may feel why Cuse is the play today.

) can play inside and continue get to the hoop strong and in a position to make a basket and draw a foul that is the difference for the cover at this point!!!
