Syracuse basketball looks to have finally turned the corner on a season that seemed destined for a NIT berth or worse. Now, the Orange in the midst of ACC play are heading into a stretch that will test if that is truly the case starting with a tough matchup against Miami (FL) at home.
Usually on paper this would be a must-watch ESPN event in primetime as these two programs are usually ranked in the Top 25 or close to it when they meet. The matchups have been close, chippy, and some might say exhausting. This game could provide more of the same, minus the Top 25 part of it of course.
