On Dec. 12, Syracuse opened its Atlantic Coast Conference road schedule with an impressive 38-point win over Boston College. Since then, the last four road trips have not gone well for the Orange, who Tuesday night visit North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C.
The Orange (10-6, 4-5 ACC) lost their second road game by six at North Carolina on Jan. 12 but in losses to Pittsburgh, Virginia and Clemson, the average margin of defeat has been 20 points. On Saturday, the road woes continued when Syracuse shot a season-worst 30 percent in a 78-61 loss at Clemson.
The Orange made only 5 of 20 attempts from 3-point range and are shooting just 19.
