Syracuse basketball will put its two-game winning streak on the line when the Orange makes a trip to Notre Dame this Wednesday evening. This past Saturday, the ‘Cuse (15-12, 9-7) destroyed Boston College at home, and the Orange followed up that result with a 74-73 overtime victory versus Georgia Tech on the Hill on Monday night.
With those two successes, the ‘Cuse now currently sits in seventh place within the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. The Orange has a really challenging four-game stretch to wrap up its 2021-22 regular season.
Up first is a daunting affair at Notre Dame (19-8, 12-4), a squad that is hovering close to the top of the league race. In its most recent encounter, the Fighting Irish fell by five points, 79-74, on the road to Wake Forest over the weekend.
Notre Dame presents an opportunity for the ‘Cuse to notch a marquee quadrant-one achievement, however, the Fighting Irish rarely loses on its own turf. The Orange will have to shoot much better against Notre Dame than it did versus the Yellow Jackets.

Syracuse at Notre Dame on Wednesday
The Fighting Irish doesn’t score as many points on offense as the ‘Cuse, but Notre Dame also allows fewer points per game on defense. The Orange has an edge in the rebounding department, although not having injured junior center Jesse Edwards available is something that the ‘Cuse will have to overcome by, hopefully, getting solid contributions on the glass from the team’s other big men.
Notre Dame is a really good shooting group, and the Fighting Irish takes care of the ball with precision. Without question, Notre Dame is one of the pleasant surprises in a sub-par ACC to date in the 2021-22 term.
I feel like the Orange is going to hang tough with the Fighting Irish in this one, however, Notre Dame is exceptionally tough to conquer at home. Reluctantly, I’m forecasting a win by the Fighting Irish over the ‘Cuse on Wednesday.
