The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (11-4, 2-0) maintained their perfect start in ACC play with a 61-53 win over the Clemson Tigers Wednesday evening, and now they’ll look to make it three wins to start conference play as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-6, 1-1) come into the Carrier Dome.
Syracuse’s offense struggled to find a rhythm against the Tigers, but their defense was as dominant as it’s been all season long. The Orange can survive against the weaker ACC teams when their offense struggles due to their stout defense, but with some tough ranked opponents coming up, SU could use a hot shooting game against the Yellow Jackets to gain some confidence.
