Syracuse basketball fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief: the much-anticipated home matchup against Duke at the Carrier Dome is finally here. The circumstances are not what we expected coming in with coach Jim Boeheim and the Jimenez family dealing with a tragic car accident and Zion Williamson not playing due to a freak injury leading to a blowout Duke lost the game before. However, this still has all the makings of another ACC classic.
Duke is once again ranked No. 1 overall. That’s a standing they held the last team we played and beat them on January 14th at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
