The SU hoops outfit hung tough but ultimately lost to top-five teams Duke and North Carolina over the last week, and now it gets somewhat of a reprieve, as the Orange (18-10, 9-6) travels to Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon. Now, it’s true that the Demon Deacons (11-16, 4-11) have struggled to date in the 2018-19 campaign.
However, I sincerely hope that our beloved crew does not take Wake Forest lightly. For one, the Demon Deacons notched their first-ever win against Syracuse, at home, in January of 2018. Secondly, in this term, the ‘Cuse has had a tendency to play up to its competition, and down to its competition.
