With a Thursday game comes the need for an early preview and predictions set. First, we get into the preview. Syracuse isn’t a rival per se. The teams just haven’t played enough, but they certainly are a bitter opponent. They have won the last two encounters and Tech needs to wash that bitter taste out of their mouths. GO HOKIES!!!!
