The Syracuse Orange and UConn Huskies are two of four major men’s basketball programs headlining the 2018 2K Sports Classic, according to a report from FanRag’s Jon Rothstein. SU and UConn led the news, clearly, given both program’s histories with one another — as well as the host venue, New York’s Madison Square Garden.
This year, the event features Providence, Virginia Tech, Washington and St. Louis, among others. Syracuse last participated in 2014, but fell to California (they finally got back in this...). The Orange won in 2009 and 2004, and also lost in the final game in 2005.
