The Syracuse Orange play Boston College in an ACC basketball matchup on TV Wednesday as ESPN airs their game at 7 pm on the schedule and the team is trying to stay undefeated this season and put that on the line at the Carrier Dome as Jim Boeheim and company go for win 26 on the season and it comes before their toughest matchup left against Duke.
Syracuse has been playing very well all season and they are number one in the nation and they are coming off of a few very close games, including a last second win against Pitt and another close one against NC State. The team got the winning layup in that game late and in the Panthers game, Tyler Ennis hit an amazing three pointer at the buzzer to keep the team clean and now all that stands in their way are six games against ACC schools and two of those are against ranked teams in Duke and Virginia.
Syracuse has played very well in big spots and they won at home against Duke in overtime and that was another close call and now they will do it again, this time at Cameron Indoor Arena. The team has three straight road games after the BC matchup, as Duke is next before the team travels to play Maryland and then against number 14 Virginia. Duke comes in ranked in the top five and later on the schedule has Georgia Tech and then Florida State.
The team is getting some great play from CJ Fair and he is leading the team in scoring and while Cuse is scoring only 70 points per game, they are ranked seventh in scoring defense with just 58 points allowed. The team has up only 44 to Clemson and that is not the first time that has happened this season, as they did it to Miami as well and also held North Carolina to 45 in one game.
