Wednesday was a busy day in the world of Syracuse Orange men's basketball scheduling. A couple non-conference games were confirmed, AND the full ACC conference schedule (with dates and everything!) was released. Let's try to examine everything here:
The Orange confirmed a previously-reported contest against Montana State on Dec. 22, and then added a new date with Texas Southern for Dec. 27 to close out the non-conference slate. Syracuse has played each team just once before. The last time Syracuse faced Montana State was in the 1996 NCAA tournament where the Orange won 88-55 (but went on to lose to Kentucky in the National Championship).
