The game tips off at 7 p.m. at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville and will be televised nationally on ESPN and the Watch ESPN app. Sean McDonough, LaPhonso Ellis, and Allison Williams will be the TV announcing team.
Syracuse enters the contest with a two-game losing streak, most recently falling 59-44 Saturday at home to #2 Virginia. The Orange trailed from start to finish in both of their recent losses.
