Syracuse Basketball Schedule Preview

Orange Fizz Nation, Alex Bursin here with you

It's still very much Syracuse football season, but it's never too early to start talking some hoops

And this past week, we got our first full look at the 2024

2025 conference slate for Syracuse basketball. So today we're going to break down where Syracuse men's basketball

will be playing this upcoming season in ACC play. Starting things off, it'll be a December 7th matchup against Notre Dame on the road

If you'll remember, just this past season, Notre Dame came to the dome

Almost played spoiler on Jim Beheim Day, but Syracuse was able to pull off a victory

This time, it'll be Syracuse traveling to Indiana. It's a big game for JJ Starling

As you'll remember, the guards started his career in Indiana at Notre Dame, then transferred to the Orange

This will be his first time going back to the team he played with for his freshman year

So we'll see what JJ Starling can do on the road in Indiana

Some other big games, you'll look at. The two other opponents that Syracuse will play twice this year They play Notre Dame twice and then they also going to play their two protected rivals B and Pitt twice Those are four very winnable games for Syracuse These are team Syracuse has historically done very well again

So that's going to be very important for Syracuse to come out of those four matches against Pitt and BC with three or four wins

That will help set the pace for this Syracuse basketball season. How about the biggest game of the season

It's likely going to be on February 5th when Cooper Flagg comes to the dome to take on Syracuse with his Duke team

Cooper Flagg one of the most highly anticipated recruits in recent high school basketball history

and he'll be coming to the dome on February 5th. It's a big game for Syracuse against arrival in Duke

And then finally, how about those new teams? Syracuse gets a very tough travel schedule

They're going to have to travel to Stanford, Cal and SMU. They'll do the Cali teams in one trips of January 29th against Stanford and then that weekend Cal on February 1st

That's going to be a long trip for these student athletes. and then they'll have about a month off before playing, going to Texas to face off against SMU on March 4th

It should be an exciting season of Syracuse basketball will have coverage all year long on OrangeViz
