The Syracuse Orange (11-9, 3-4) return home on Tuesday night to face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (12-7, 3-4). While the Deacs have never beaten Syracuse -- 0-4 all-time -- they appear improved this season, and are coming off two straight wins (vs. two straight losses for SU). If either team has a shot at the postseason, this is a must-win.
This game starts at 8 p.m. ET at the Carrier Dome. If you're not attending, you'll be able to watch the proceedings on ACC Network Extra, as well.
