Syracuse men’s basketball: what to watch for vs. Georgetown

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.
