Syracuse Basketball has finally arrived at the part of the schedule we have dreaded all year: the gauntlet of ranked teams at the end of the ACC conference schedule. The good news is that the Orange, for the most part, has lived up to and possibly exceeded expectations so far in conference play. Sitting at 8-3 in the conference, according to ESPN.com, and coming off a decent win over Boston College at home, the Orange now will face North Carolina State on the road in Raleigh, North Carolina Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET.
