Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has guided the Orange to wins in eight of its last nine games. Syracuse, now 18-8 on the season and 8-5 in the ACC, will ride its momentum into Louisville for a game against the Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center at 7 p.m. Wednesday (ESPN). Louisville is 19-6 overall and 8-4 in the ACC, but the Cardinals are banned from this year's postseason. Louisville has lost two straight games, but those losses were at Duke and Notre Dame. Expect the Cardinals to be fired up and ready for the Orange.
Jim Boeheim and Rick Pitino will meet again as Syracuse travels to Louisville on Wednesday night.
