The Connecticut Huskies look to win their 12th straight game and hand the Syracuse Orange their fifth straight road defeat as the Big East rivals meet tonight.

Struggling Syracuse appears to be in no position to upset UConn. The Orange have dropped five of seven and are sliding down the polls fast.

Most of Syracuse's problems have been on the road, where they have lost four straight. Facing the nation's top-ranked team at Gampel Pavilion won't help matters since the Orange are 0-3 all-time there.

The Huskies are 11-1 at home and have outscored their opponents at home by an average margin of 22.1 points.

If the Orange are to steal a win, they will have to do it on the glass. UConn has yet to be outrebounded in a game this season and few teams have an answer for Hasheem Thabeet.
