Is there a hotter team in the ACC right now than Syracuse basketball? A case could be made for both Virginia and Miami, but SU is right there as well. After an 0-4 start in conference play, the Orange have reeled off eight conference victories in their last nine, with the lone loss coming to Virginia.
The next big test for Syracuse comes tonight against Louisville, a team that is coming off back-to-back losses to Duke and Notre Dame and reeling after banning themselves from postseason play. Even so, Louisville remains 18th in the AP poll and is a force to be reckoned with, especially at home where they are 16-1 this season.
