Syracuse (3-4) travels to South Bend, Ind., to open ACC play against Notre Dame (6-1) on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 12:00 p.m.
 
SETTING THE STAGE
The Orange begin ACC play after a 73-44 loss to Illinois in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Nov. 29. Syracuse was able to move within seven points entering the break, but the Fighting Illini pulled away after the intermission.
 
The Fighting Irish charge in with a 70-52 victory against Michigan St. in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. A season-high 23-point outing from graduate guard Cormac Ryan led Notre Dame to the win.
 
SYRACUSE-NOTRE DAME SERIES
Saturday marks the 55th paring between the two squads. Syracuse holds an overall 31-23 edge in the all-time series that extends back to the 1913-14 season. The Fighting Irish took the most recent matchup, 79-69, on Feb. 21, 2022.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Senior center Jesse Edwards logged his second-consecutive game of 17-or-more rebounds in the loss to Illinois. His 13 defensive boards matched his previous career-high that the big man set in the previous matchup against Bryant. Freshman guard Judah Mintz matched Edwards' nine points in the defeat. 
 
ORANGE LEADERS
Mintz leads Syracuse with 15.1 points per game, which slots him in a tie for seventh among Division I freshmen heading into Saturday's contest. Edwards is averaging a double-double with 13.7 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest. Senior guard Joesph Girard is averaging 13.4 points per game. 
 
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
Graduate forward Nate Laszewski holds the offensive front for the Fighting Irish, as he is one of five on the squad averaging double-digit points with 16.9 per contest. Laszewski also leads on the glass with 8.6 boards per contest. Graduate guard Dane Goodwin is currently logging 14.0 ppg.
