No. 14 Syracuse (6-0) takes on Wisconsin (4-3) on Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. in the Carrier Dome as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. The Orange is coming off a Battle 4 Atlantis championship last week in which SU won three games in three straight days.

Here’s how our beat writers forecast Syracuse-Wisconsin:

Take note
Winning the Battle 4 Atlantis shot Syracuse up to the No. 14 team in the country and allowed the Orange to boast. SU is a team that readily admits it wanted to demolish its expectations. It has, and will continue to do so with Wisconsin standing in its way. The country is starting to take note of the Orange.

Jesse Dougherty (5-1)
Syracuse 67, Wisconsin 61
Brick by brick
Syracuse is going to go cold against Wisconsin, but the Badgers will go even colder. The result will be an ugly, grind-it-out game in the Carrier Dome that makes the Orange faithful wonder where it’s fun team went. But winning’s also fun, and stabilizing performances from Michael Gbinije and Malachi Richardson help SU do that in the end.

Matt Schneidman (5-1)
Syracuse 73, Wisconsin 61
Honey badger
The Badgers are allowing opponents to make almost half of their 3-pointers every game and that’s Syracuse’s area of strength. Don’t expect Gbinije to cool off from deep and this could be the game where we see the Trevor Cooney who lights it up from beyond the arc. Don’t look now, but the Orange could be a Top 10 team after this week.
