Syracuse (11-8, 3-3 Atlantic Coast) visits South Bend, Indiana, to take on No. 15 Notre Dame (16-3, 5-1) on Saturday at noon. The Orange still has yet to pull off a marquee win and a victory away from the Carrier Dome this season. Saturday presents a chance for SU to do both after winning three of its last five and treading water with a .500 record in the ACC. Notre Dame, meanwhile, is coming off a three-point loss to No. 10 Florida State on Wednesday, its first ACC loss of the year.
