The Orange find themselves 22-6 straight-up overall but just 10-16 against the spread. They are stuck in the middle of the pack in the Big East at 9-6 SU.  <\/p>\n<p>Kris Joseph, Rick Jackson, and Scoop Jardine continue to lead the way for Syracuse.

Corey Stokes is the second leading scorer with 14.6 points and Antonio Pena is the leading rebounder with 7.4 a game. The Wildcats are averaging 74 points and 38 rebounds a game.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams are in desperate need of a quality win as neither has looked all that impressive in their past few outings.
