The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (13-5; 4-1 ACC) will play host to the Miami Hurricanes (9-8; 1-4) on at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night at the Carrier Dome. SU is off to a hot start in ACC play, and are winners of two straight games. The ‘Canes, meanwhile, have won just one of their first five games in conference play.
Miami comes into the contest severely undermanned with just seven healthy scholarship players. Jim Larrañaga’s squad has seen their share of bad luck with injuries and the team is caught up in the NCAA corruption case that has led to the suspension of Dewan Hernandez.
