Tonight marks the 12th time that NC State and Syracuse have played one another, and historically the Wolfpack have had complete control of the series, boasting a 10-1 record against the Orangemen.
The series dates back to 1972, with NC State beating Syracuse all 4 times in the 70’s. They went on to beat the Orangemen both times in the 90’s as well.
The first time that NC State lost to Syracuse was the first time the two faced each other as ACC foes, as well as the first year of the Dave Doeren Era.
