Syracuse men’s basketball to play in 2022 Empire Classic with St. John’s and Temple

In staying on #BRAND with this website, it’s never too early to talk about scheduling. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team has an idea on who they’ll play next season. Jon Rothstein reported that Syracuse, St. John’s and Temple will play in the 2022 Empire Classic.

Rothstein reported that a fourth team, location and date are yet to be determined. The Empire Classic is usually held in Madison Square Garden, so it’s a good bet that Syracuse will return to the world’s most famous arena once again next season. The Orange are no strangers to the Empire Classic, last playing in the tournament in 2018.
