Syracuse's 2-3 zone helped them win another low-scoring affair. But will they control the tempo, when they play Michigan St. For TCU they had a poor night from behind the 3-point line. They shot 17.6% from behind the arc. 

Syracuse will face Michigan St. in Detroit on Sunday. The other game in Detroit will be Butler against Purdue in a Hoosier State battle.
