What to Know

The Syracuse Orange have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Orange and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. 'Cuse should still be feeling good after a win, while Notre Dame will be looking to regain their footing.

'Cuse escaped with a win on Monday against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets by the margin of a single free throw, 74-73.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 79-74 to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. A silver lining for the Fighting Irish was the play of guard Blake Wesley, who shot 6-for-11 from downtown and finished with 24 points.

The Orange are expected to lose this next one by 5.5. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with 'Cuse, who are 14-13 against the spread.
