Syracuse basketball vs. Virginia: 10 things to watch for

The Syracuse Orange (12-4 overall, 1-2 ACC) will face a huge road challenge on Tuesday at No. 3 Virginia. The Cavaliers are 14-1 overall and 3-0 in the ACC.

Syracuse has lost two straight games and the Orange's biggest problem has been a lackluster offense. The Orange's offense will be tested on Tuesday as the Cavaliers are regarded as the toughest defensive team in the country.

Syracuse will need junior point guard Frank Howard (pictured) to use a steady hand in leading the Orange against the Cavaliers.

Game time is 8 p.m. at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Va.
