No. 6 Florida State looks to bounce back at Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- As Upset Week in college basketball comes to an end, the Syracuse Orange may have the Florida State Seminoles right where they want them: in the Carrier Dome.

After No. 1 Villanova, No. 2 Kansas and No. 4 Kentucky all lost Tuesday, No. 6 Florida State (and No. 16 Creighton) fell to unranked teams Wednesday. Georgia Tech built a 29-point lead and throttled the visiting Seminoles 78-56 at McCamish Pavilion.

Now, Florida State (18-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) will try to avoid its first two-game losing streak of the season when it visits Syracuse (12-9, 4-4) at noon Saturday at the Carrier Dome.
