Syracuse Men's Basketball: Orange Will Host North Florida on December 3

Get ready for the cold, North Florida. You might want to bring your parkas... unless you're extremely lucky and get one of those rare "warm" winter spells.

The UNF Ospreys and Syracuse Orange basketball programs will meet for the very first time, in the Carrier Dome on December 3. After winning the Atlantic Sun regular season title for the second straight year, North Florida was bounced from the conference tournament semifinals by our favorite NCAA Tourney darling Florida Gulf Coast. They earned a spot in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) as a result. The Ospreys made their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2015 after winning the A-Sun, but lost 81-77 to Robert Morris in their "First Four" game.
