It looks like Syracuse basketball could end up hosting those pesky Hoyas after the calendar year flips.

For many reasons, including the novel coronavirus pandemic, escalating racial tensions, natural disasters and so much more, 2020 has proven awful, but perhaps there’s a way that Syracuse basketball could start off next year on a high note.

CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein, citing a source, is reporting that the Orange and Georgetown are “likely” to play their contest versus one another within the 2020-21 term in January.

Rothstein notes that the bout between the former Big East Conference rivals is expected to occur on a Saturday in that month.
