Syracuse basketball looks to snap its two-game losing streak and get its offense back on track as the Orange prepares to host Wake Forest this Saturday evening on the Hill.

The ‘Cuse (9-11, 3-6), most recently, lost by 20 points at top-10 Duke as well as by 11 points at Pittsburgh, in a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference clashes where the Orange tremendously struggled shooting the ball from the field, from beyond the arc, and from the charity stripe.

While falling on the road to the Blue Devils is understandable, the recent setback to the Panthers was perhaps the worst defeat of the 2021-22 campaign for the ‘Cuse, as the team was outscored by a sub-par Pitt group by 15 points in the second half.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Orange, as they now will welcome the Demon Deacons (17-4, 7-3) to Central New York. Wake Forest is one of the ACC’s best squads to date in the 2021-22 stanza, and the Demon Deacons can really score, as they average a stellar 79.6 points per contest, according to ESPN statistics.

That will almost certainly put a ton of pressure on a ‘Cuse zone defense that has experienced its share of woes in 2021-22, with the Orange currently giving up 75.3 points per affair on defense, which is pretty awful.

Syracuse vs. Wake Forest on Saturday

Toward the beginning of January, the ‘Cuse lost a heart-breaker at Wake Forest, as the Demon Deacons triumphed in overtime by a final count of 77-74. Without question, the officiating was suspect in that league encounter, however, the Orange also squandered numerous chances to pick up an impressive road victory.

At this juncture, the Orange is reeling, and the ‘Cuse fan base is understandably quite frustrated. I imagine that national pundits and Orange fanatics alike will project our boys to fall in this ACC battle, but for some reason, I’m going to go ahead and project a ‘Cuse win.

I feel like the Orange is going to break out of its recent offensive slump, with the friendly confines of the Carrier Dome helping to propel the ‘Cuse to a success.
