Syracuse basketball is playing well in ACC thus far after having four brutal non-conference losses. The Orange now sit at 7-2 in conference, according to ESPN.com, and look well on their way to making yet another NCAA tournament appearance. However, one thing stands in the way of that: the toughest part of their schedule is ahead. That stretch begins with Tuesday night’s matchup at home against Top 25 ranked Florida State.
Florida State much like Virginia Tech is a physical defensive-minded group of guys. They wear you down and have long, athletic players which makes it hard to find much offensive rhythm.
