GameThread: Syracuse Orange (2-2) vs. NC State Wolfpack (3-1)

The Syracuse Orange (2-2, 0-0) head back on the road for their ACC opener this weekend against the N.C. State Wolfpack (3-1, 1-0). NCSU’s coming off a big win over Florida State, which doesn’t make this game impossible for the Orange — but does make it appear a bit more difficult.

Everything gets started at 12:20 p.m. ET. And if you didn’t make the trip down to Raleigh (like most of us), you can watch the game on your local RSN affiliate.
