Syracuse visits the Smith Center to face North Carolina on Tuesday night, 10 days after the Orange were originally supposed to be in Chapel Hill.
COVID-related issues caused a postponement on Jan. 2, but now the Orange have been back on the court for a week and are in town facing a UNC team that has won consecutive games on essentially last-second shots by Leaky Black (versus Notre Dame) and Andrew Platek (at Miami).
Syracuse comes in with a 7-2 overall record after defeating Georgetown over the weekend. The Orange are 1-1 in ACC play but have played just two games since Dec. 19. The Orange’s most noteworthy wins are at 2-9 Boston College and Saturday versus the 3-8 Hoyas.
UNC is 7-4 overall and 2-2 in the ACC.
