The Syracuse Orange (6-1) will face the Connecticut Huskies (6-2) in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
The game is not only a renewal of a rivalry, but it's also a return to the building where some of that rivalry's most memorable games were played. Madison Square Garden. The World's Most Famous Arena.
Syracuse and UConn have met 15 times at Madison Square Garden. The first time came back in 1957. Since then, SU and UConn staged some epic battles on one of college basketball's greatest stages, including the 2009 Big East quarterfinal game that needed six overtimes to settle.
