The Orange have had a full week of rest after coming up short against Duke in their only meeting of the season last Saturday. And after a full week, they face last place Wake Forest at home. Syracuse needs to win this one.
Syracuse is facing the worst team in the league in Wake Forest. They do have a good scorer in Brandon Childress, scoring 15.3ppg. However, in reality, the big concern for Syracuse is Olivier Sarr, who averages 13ppg and 9.4 rebounds. Syracuse should be able to score in this game. Wake Forest turns the ball over a ton, and Syracuse should be able to capitalize in transition for a good portion of the game.
