Syracuse basketball continues conference play vs Georgia Tech on Saturday. Here are the top x-factors and what to watch out for in this contest.

Safe to say things haven’t been going great for the Syracuse basketball squad. After eight games, the Orange is off to its worst start in program history under Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim.

Up next for Syracuse, things don’t get any easier. Due to the ACC conference schedule expanding from 18 to 20 games, the Orange and every other ACC team have two conference games sprinkled into non-conference play.

The Orange are 0-1 after losing to Virginia in an ugly season opener. While Syracuse’s next opponent Georgia Tech is 1-0 after beating NC State.

According to the analytics, the Yellow Jackets are a 64.7 percent favorite to beat the Orange.
