Syracuse men’s basketball (11-13, 5-8 ACC) heads to Florida for the second time this season, taking on Miami (5-18, 1-11 ACC) tonight at 7 p.m.
The Orange are coming off a thrilling 95-86 triple-overtime win against Boston College, rallying in the second overtime before dominating the third. J.J. Starling led with 28 points, while Eddie Lampkin Jr. secured his ninth double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds.
Miami, under interim head coach Bill Courtney, earned its first ACC win against Notre Dame but fell to Louisville last Saturday. The Hurricanes have won all five of their games at home this season.
Syracuse holds a 21-12 advantage in the all-time series, including a 72-69 win last year, though Miami took the last matchup in Coral Gables in 2023.
