Series History: Syracuse and Houston have only played each other one other time. That was a 1982 game in the Dome when the Orange welcomed Phi Slamma Jamma, featuring Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. Syracuse was able to win a high scoring affair 92-87. Tony Bruin led Syracuse with 26 points. 

What to Know About Houston: Houston is one of the most efficient teams in the country on both ends of the floor. Per KenPom.com, Houston is the seventh most efficient offensive team and 11th most efficient defensive team. The Cougars ranks second in the nation in points allowed per game and first in field goal percentage defense. Houston is also the offensive rebounding team in the country. The Cougars are led by guard Quentin Grimes, who averages over 18 points per game. He shoots 41.7% from three point range. Houston as a team shoots over 36% from the outside. Starting point guard DeJon Jarreau suffered an injury in Houston's first round win and it is still plaguing him. He has not practiced this week and head coach Kelvin Sampson hopes he will be 75% for Saturday's game.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
