The Syracuse Orange earned its second ever ACC Tournament win on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Panthers and now turn around to play the Duke Blue Devils for the third time this season momentarily. Syracuse and Duke split during the regular season with the road team winning each time.
Syracuse is expected to be without Tyus Battle who is still nursing a sore back after a hard fall at Clemson last Saturday. Jim Boeheim said in the post-game presser last night that Battle was badly bruised and should be out 2-3 more days.
