Syracuse (17-9, 6-7 Atlantic Coast) lost a tough game at home to North Carolina State (17-9, 7-6), 74-70, in the Carrier Dome on Wednesday night. SU got strong performances from Oshae Brissett, Frank Howard and Tyus Battle, but a 3-point barrage from the Wolfpack was too much for the Orange to overcome.
