The excitement of Monday’s win is still running through the fan base, but the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (12-5, 3-1) is flipping to the next page on this season as they prepare for the Pittsburgh Panthers (12-5, 2-2) to come into the Carrier Dome on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET.
Both teams are coming off of wins against ranked teams in the ACC (Pitt just beat the No. 11-ranked Florida State Seminoles), so this has the potential to be a letdown game for either team. Coach Jim Boeheim has said numerous times that there will be zero easy wins in conference play this year, and that includes this game where Syracuse will need to play aggressive from the start if they want to avoid another loss in the Carrier Dome.
