Syracuse puts its No. 2 ranking and perfect home record on the line Saturday afternoon against the Connecticut Huskies.
The Orange have won four straight, including a 64-61 overtime win against Georgetown on Wednesday. Despite the narrow conquest against a rival ranked in the top 15, coach Jim Boeheim bashed his team's effort, calling it a "disaster" and "very disappointing at this time of the year."

UConn has lost five out of six. The Huskies fell to Louisville 80-69 on Monday as Jeremy Lamb and Andre Drummond -- two expected lottery picks in the 2012 NBA Draft -- combined for just seven points.
The Orange are 16-0 this season at home. More than 32,000 fans are expected at the Carrier Dome Saturday, making it the Orange's largest home crowd this season.
