While off-season basketball attention has shifted toward the NBA Playoffs and TBT, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team is still busy building its non-conference schedule. The Orange have scheduled the Drexel Dragons for a Nov. 14 meeting inside the Carrier Dome, per release.
Syracuse has played Drexel four times, with the Orange leading the series 3-1. The most memorable meeting came in the Second Round of the 1996 NCAA Tournament, where John Wallace led SU with 18 points to push Syracuse to the Sweet 16. SU beat the Dragons the last time the two teams played in 2010 (a 93-65 Orange win).
