Thanks to the initial season of the ACC Network and the conference’s new 20-game schedule, Syracuse will open its season with a bang on Nov. 6.
The Orange will get things started by hosting defending NCAA champion Virginia in a meeting of teams that likely will be figuring things out in the early going.
Virginia brings back two starters. Syracuse returns one. Elijah Hughes is the only player on either team that averaged double-figures last season.
Don’t sleep on the streak
Syracuse hasn’t lost to Colgate since 1962.
The Orange has left the court victorious against the Raiders on 53 consecutive occasions. The NCAA lists the Orange’s win streak over Colgate at 48 games due to wins vacated due to NCAA sanctions.
