SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse basketball (14-9, 7-5 ACC) looks for a second straight win and a post-season résumé boost when the Orange host the North Carolina State Wolfpack (15-8, 6-6 ACC) on Tuesday night.
The game tips off just after 7 p.m. at the Carrier Dome and will be televised nationally on ESPN2. You can also stream it through the ESPN app. Dan Shulman, Jon Crispin, and Brooke Weisbrod are the announcing crew.
Syracuse (No. 65 in the NCAA’s NET Rankings) is coming off a thrilling 75-73 win at home against Wake Forest on Saturday night that helped keep its post-season hopes alive. Little-used freshman guard Brycen Goodine scored the game-winning basket with 1.5 seconds left. Goodine was forced into action after the Orange had three players (Quincy Guerrier, Bourama Sidibe, and Marek Dolezaj) foul out within two minutes of one another late in the game.
