Game thread: Syracuse Orange vs Virginia Cavaliers

The Syracuse Orange (10-5, 3-1) men’s basketball team looks to get their biggest win of the season when they take on the #11 Virginia Cavaliers (10-3, 2-2) at 5:00 on ACCN.

Opportunities for impressive road wins are slim this year for Syracuse so grabbing an upset in Charlottesville will keep the Orange on track for the annual “let’s annoy the rest of the nation” bubble talk.
