It’s been more than two weeks since Syracuse won a game. Notre Dame hasn’t fared much better.
The Orange look to avoid a fifth straight defeat when they host the Fighting Irish, who have one win this month, on Saturday night in ACC play.
After losing to Clemson in its ACC opener, Syracuse (12-9, 3-5) rattled off three straight wins from Jan. 6-13. However, the Orange are winless in four games since, and coming off an 88-68 drubbing at North Carolina State on Tuesday.
They shot just 38.8%, were outrebounded 45-33 and allowed the Wolfpack to make 50.8% of their shots.
“(NC State) capitalized on every (one of our mistakes),” Syracuse coach Adrian Autry said.
“We keep fighting. Get back, watching film, only trying to get better and get prepared for the next game.”
Syracuse is 13-of-45 from 3-point range over the last two games. At the other end of the court, the Orange have allowed their last three foes to shoot a combined 52.4% from the floor.
Syracuse’s Donnie Freeman (19.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg) had 24 points with 10 rebounds Tuesday. He scored 20 with 11 rebounds during the Orange’s 69-64 loss at Notre Dame last season.
Teammate JJ Starling (11.5 ppg), who began his career at Notre Dame, did not play in that contest, but scored 21 during the Orange’s 77-69 home win over the Irish later that season.
Notre Dame (11-10, 2-6), which has dropped four straight at Syracuse, is just 1-6 this month.
However, the Irish showed fight during Tuesday’s 100-97 double-overtime home loss to No. 17 Virginia. Cole Certa had a career-high 34 points, while Jalen Haralson and Braeden Shrewsberry combined for another 38, but the Irish blew a 19-point first-half lead and could not hold a six-point edge in the final two minutes of regulation.
“Not into moral victories, but we are about the process,” Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry said.
“These dudes keep coming, keep fighting, keep competing and try to play their best basketball as the season goes on.”
With Irish star Markus Burton still injured, freshman Haralson is averaging 15 points on 49.1 percent shooting. Meanwhile, Braeden Shrewsberry has totaled 40 points in the last two games, and averaged 19.0 on 14-of-24 shooting from deep in three games all-time versus Syracuse.

MATCH PREVIEW
A one-off Test against Afghanistan, beginning at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on Saturday, will be an ideal reconvening point for India before it squabbles up for a late charge at the World Test Championship final.
Left with a daunting path to the summit clash after the home series loss to South Africa, preparation for the upcoming must-win tours to Sri Lanka and New Zealand is already on the agenda.
Nowhere does India need to clean house more than its feeble batting order. Despite playing in home conditions, India averaged a paltry 15.23 across the four innings in that series. Only two batters, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja, scored fifties in that series.
But the early indicators in New Chandigarh suggest India is banking on continuity. Head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed on match eve that India’s under-fire No. 3 choice Sai Sudharsan will continue in the role. Handing the vice-captaincy to KL Rahul appears to be another move borne from the urge to give more chances to Rishabh Pant.

“He waived it (off) immediately,” NHL executive vice president and director of officiating Stephen Walkom said. “He believed it was under the goalie and the Vegas player went after the puck and interfered with the goalie and his ability to freeze the puck and waived it off immediately.”
The call stood, the Hurricanes went on the power play, and Jordan Stall scored to give Carolina its first lead, 3-2.
“I’d challenge it 10 out of 10 times,” Tortorella said defiantly afterward.
Mark Stone got Tortorella off the hook briefly with a 6-on-5 goal with 1:21 remaining to force overtime. The Hurricanes then won it at the 3:56 mark on a Seth Jarvis one-timer to cap the dramatic comeback.
Carolina, which trailed 2-0 with just 9:40 remaining in the third-period when Logan Stankoven scored, became the first team since the Montreal Canadiens in 1944 that was trailing by multiple goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation to rally for a victory in a Stanley Cup Final.
Time will tell whether Carolina’s victory, fueled in part by Tortorella’s costly gamble to challenge the no-goal call, will be the turning point in the series. The Golden Knights acted as though they weren’t fazed by the loss on Friday afternoon before making the long flight back to Las Vegas for Game 3 on Saturday night.
“It is what it is,” center William Karlsson said. “We would have loved to win that game. We didn’t, but it’s in the past. There’s nothing we can change, so now we just look ahead.”
Perhaps even more devastating than the no-goal call was a Hurricanes’ shot that didn’t go into the net.
Nikoloaj Ehlers blasted an 87 mph slap shot midway through the first period that hit defenseman Brayden McNabb in the middle of his face. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound McNabb, the franchise leader in blocked shots (1,417) and hits (1,469) who is also a key member of the team’s penalty-kill unit, skated off immediately covering his face and went to the hospital for treatment.
Tortorella refused to give an update on McNabb’s condition on Friday but did say he was well enough to fly back with the team later that day. McNabb had three assists in the Golden Knights’ 5-4 victory in Game 1.
“I think he’s a vital part of this team,” Karlsson said. “Of course, it was tough not to have him for the remainder of the game.”

For the Vegas Golden Knights, the talk after Thursday night’s 4-3 overtime meltdown loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final centered around head coach John Tortorella’s questionable decision to challenge a goal by Ivan Barbashev that had been quickly waived off for goalie interference.
The score was tied, 2-2, with just five minutes remaining when Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen dove on top of a Barbashev wraparound try. The puck eventually dribbled in by the far post thanks in part to Barbashev’s poke-jam at Andersen’s glove inside the crease.
Referee Jean Hebert, watching the play unfold right behind the net, immediately signaled no goal on the play. Chances of the call being overturned by the Situation Room in Toronto were minuscule at best, but Tortorella, in true Las Vegas fashion, decided to roll the dice and go ahead with a challenge and a potentially costly delay of game penalty.
Simply put, Tortorella, who has rightly garnered his share of plaudits for his role in a 20-5-1 Golden Knights turnaround since replacing Bruce Cassidy as head coach on March 28, crapped out.
“He waived it (off) immediately,” NHL executive vice president and director of officiating Stephen Walkom said. “He believed it was under the goalie and the Vegas player went after the puck and interfered with the goalie and his ability to freeze the puck and waived it off immediately.”
The call stood, the Hurricanes went on the power play, and Jordan Stall scored to give Carolina its first lead, 3-2.

What is the format for Super Regionals?
One of the things that makes the NCAA baseball tournament such a fun event each spring is the varied format.
Last weekend’s regionals were a double-elimination affair, with the Field of 64 broken up into 16, four-team mini-tournaments. Now, the remaining 16 teams are split into pairs of eight, with each pair playing a best-of-three series to determine the eight teams that will be heading to Omaha.
The host team will be the home team for Game 1 and Game 3, if necessary. The visiting team will have those honors in Game 2.
When the teams arrive in Omaha, the double-elimination format returns. The eight teams will be split into two four-team brackets, using a double-elimination format to determine the final two teams. Those teams will then play a best-of-three series to crown a champion.

What is the format for Super Regionals?
One of the things that makes the NCAA baseball tournament such a fun event each spring is the varied format.
Last weekend’s regionals were a double-elimination affair, with the Field of 64 broken up into 16, four-team mini-tournaments. Now, the remaining 16 teams are split into pairs of eight, with each pair playing a best-of-three series to determine the eight teams that will be heading to Omaha.
The host team will be the home team for Game 1 and Game 3, if necessary. The visiting team will have those honors in Game 2.
When the teams arrive in Omaha, the double-elimination format returns. The eight teams will be split into two four-team brackets, using a double-elimination format to determine the final two teams. Those teams will then play a best-of-three series to crown a champion.
