On the very first Ed Cooley Radio Show of the season, the Friars’ head coach made it clear that his team had a big challenge in front of them when they host Carleton University of Canada in their only public exhibition game of the preseason (Oct. 29 at the Dunkin Donuts Center).
It wasn’t coach speak. Cooley referenced Carleton’s blowout victory over Wichita State in August (100-75), and a closer look at PC’s opponent on Saturday reveals just how challenging the exhibition opener will be.
Carleton took Syracuse to overtime in back-to-back seasons, first in 2013 and then 2014.
