Syracuse Basketball: Orange’s first foe, Bryant, will prove a tough early test

We may not know up until shortly right before game time whether Syracuse basketball will get to host Bryant on Friday afternoon inside the Carrier Dome in the Orange’s 2020-21 term opener.

The ‘Cuse hoops activities have been on pause ever since the team disclosed more than a week ago that head coach Jim Boeheim and another member of the program had tested positive for Covid-19.

Boeheim recently told Donna Ditota of Syracuse.com that his squad will be “ready to play” versus Bryant, assuming the non-conference clash can proceed amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
