Syracuse basketball will host Northeastern in a rare mid-week afternoon battle.

After Syracuse basketball absolutely crushed fellow Atlantic Coast Conference foe Boston College on the road this past Saturday afternoon, head coach Jim Boeheim said in his post-game virtual press conference that the Orange hoped to add another non-conference duel this week.

Well, here it is. The ‘Cuse (4-1) will welcome Colonial Athletic Association (“CAA”) participant Northeastern to the Carrier Dome on Wednesday, Dec. 16. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 pm, with television coverage on the ACC Network.
