Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse has won five straight games to revive its once-dormant NCAA tournament hopes, but the Orange faces a difficult road test on Saturday.
Syracuse (16-9 overall, 8-4 ACC) travels to Pittsburgh for a 1 p.m. game against the Panthers. Syracuse is 2-8 at Pitt's Petersen Events Center since the arena opened in the 2002-03 season. The two wins came in overtime (2004) and on Tyler Ennis' last-second shot from 35 feet (2014).
Pittsburgh (13-11, 2-9) just snapped an 8-game losing streak with an 83-72 win at Boston College on Wednesday.
