It’s December, which means it’s time for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team’s annual matchup versus the Georgetown Hoyas. Nothing like a little former Big East rivalry game.
Syracuse (5-4, 1-0) is coming off a dominant 29-point home victory against Oakland, while Georgetown (5-5) looks to avoid falling back below .500. No, neither of these programs are as dominant as they were decades ago. - but hip-hip hooray for nostalgia.
Nonetheless, the story of the game will be the Ring of Honor ceremony for head coach Jim Boeheim and former Syracuse star guard Pearl Washington.
