Get that caffeine ready, Syracuse basketball fans. The Orange returns to the court for a late start on Thursday night, as the 'Cuse will welcome Atlantic 10 Conference member Saint Joseph's to the JMA Wireless Dome.
It was more than a week ago when Syracuse basketball (5-3 overall) stunned then-No. 13 Tennessee at home, 62-60, in the ACC/SEC Challenge. That was a massive win for the Orange's non-conference resume.
Next up, the 'Cuse will host the Hawks (6-3 overall), a team that has won four straight. Saint Joseph's, picked to finish seventh in the Atlantic 10, according to the league's preseason poll, is led by first-year head coach Steve Donahue.
