The game is set to take place at the Reynolds Coliseum, a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play a significant role in influencing the game's dynamics.
The Syracuse Orange have been showing consistent performance on the court, as evidenced by their recent games.

Their ability to convert from free throws was also notable with a 79 percent success rate.
Defensively, Syracuse has demonstrated resilience; they managed six steals and two blocks in their previous game. However, there's room for improvement in reducing turnovers where they had sixteen instances but still maintained a positive assist-turnover ratio of 1.27.
In another recent matchup against Miami (FL) Hurricanes, Syracuse emerged victorious with a score of 71-60. Their defense was particularly effective that night as they racked up nine steals and six blocks while holding their opponents to just 40 percent field goal shooting.
One area where Syracuse has excelled is rebounding; they outrebounded their opponents in both games mentioned above which could be crucial against NC State Wolfpack who are known for their physicality under the basket.
The upcoming clash will test Syracuse's ability to maintain these trends away from home and under pressure from NC State's fans at Reynolds Coliseum. The team will need to leverage its strengths in shooting accuracy and defensive solidity while working on ball control to minimize turnovers which can be pivotal in such high-stakes games.
