The Syracuse basketball squad returns to the court on Saturday evening when it hosts No. 1 Duke at the Carrier Dome. In all honesty, it’s hard to even think about hoops at this juncture, due to the unbelievably tragic and fatal accident involving SU head coach Jim Boeheim on late Wednesday night.
The ‘Cuse (18-8, 9-4), meanwhile, is coming off an impressive 20-point domination of Louisville on Wednesday in Central New York. This nationally televised match-up, to air on ESPN, will undoubtedly contain a ton of emotions. Syracuse got the better of Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in mid-January, winning in overtime following an abysmal performance by the Blue Devils from downtown.
