Bulls to play Syracuse in 2018
One of the more natural games UB basketball should be playing more often is Syracuse. Up until last season the Bulls had not played the Orange since 2001.
Well the two teams are making up for lost time. UB is going to visit the Carrier Dome for the second straight year. Buffalo is heading to Syracuse on December 18th.
Last year the Orange won a hard fought game, and that win over a top 30 RPI team was a resume boost when the selection team met. In no small part the Buffalo game put Syracuse in to the tournament.
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim noted that its win over a Top 30 RPI team like the Bulls went a long way in their inclusion in the field of 68.
