GameThread: Syracuse Orange (12-2) vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-6)

The Syracuse Orange (12-2) play their first ACC road game of the season tonight against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-6). Wake has never beaten the Orange in five tries to-date, so we’re very much hoping that trend continues. The Deacs started this season poorly, but have picked it up of late. They’re also a one-point favorite coming into the matchup despite the difference in wins between the two programs right now.

Things tip off from Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum at 7 p.m. ET. You can watch the game on ESPNU/WatchESPN.
