Despite valiant efforts in both outings, the Syracuse Orange came up empty handed in their two-game gauntlet against the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels. However, Syracuse has three more games before the ACC Tournament begins, and it starts with a road matchup against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, the second to last place team in the ACC.
Despite their inferior record, Syracuse cannot take the Demon Deacons lightly, as a loss here would seriously hurt the Orange’s resume for a bid to the Big Dance.
