The Yellow Jackets are coming off an important win at a struggling NC State. Now they face a team that struggled early in the season but has turned it around, a team that looked like a title contender early only to struggle in ACC play, and one of the top teams in the nation.
First, the Jackets head to Syracuse on Saturday to face a strong Orange team that is coming off of a 15 point victory over #25 Notre Dame. The Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim spent the first nine games of the season on the bench and the team struggled with consistency in his absence.
