The race for ACC supremacy received a jolt Saturday when the Syracuse Orange upset the Virginia Cavaliers 66-62.
Virginia entered play ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 and was coming off a strong performance against Virginia Tech on Wednesday.
Syracuse has finally started to find momentum this season. This marks its fourth straight win overall and second over a team ranked in the Top 10 at the time (Florida State). The Orange still own a pedestrian 15-9 mark overall, but they are now 7-4 in conference play.
After trailing by 12 points at halftime, Syracuse went on a furious 25-7 rally over the first 12 minutes of the second half to take a 47-41 lead.
