Prediction
Syracuse has played better since the conference season started. However, all their wins have come in the confines of the Carrier Dome. Meanwhile, UNC has gone 9-0 at home this season. Sometimes it is that simple.
Final Score: 96-75 UNC over Syracuse. Sure the Orange are better, but NC State was better too. Both teams have failed to record an ACC road win. Both teams have a freshman point guard as well. North Carolina comes out hot and Syracuse never really recovers.
