In its final home game of the season, No. 9 Syracuse (5-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) hosts No. 5 North Carolina (8-2, 1-2) on Saturday to begin a stretch of three straight games against top-five opponents. The Tar Heels come to the Carrier Dome with the top scoring offense in the nation. SU’s defense, though up-and-down through its first seven games, looked strong against unranked Albany on Thursday.
