The Syracuse Orange (18-9, 7-7) are once again fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives and will look to build off its latest victory when the North Carolina Tar Heels (21-7, 10-5) come to the Carrier Dome tonight. The game will air at primetime as part of ESPN’s Wednesday Night Hoops segment. It will be a big game nationally, but an ever bigger game for Syracuse’s resume as it remains in the hunt for an at-large bid.
Syracuse and North Carolina have played each other in some big games, none bigger than in 2016 on college basketball’s grandest stage at the Final Four.
