Arkansas State will make its first appearance on the Syracuse men's basketball schedule when the Red Wolves visit the Dome on Saturday, December 22, 2018.
The pairing completes the non-conference portion of Syracuse's schedule.
Arkansas State was 11-21 a season ago. First-year head coach Mike Balado, a former assistant at Louisville, guided a squad that set a school standard for season 3-pointers (236). The Red Wolves return two of their top four scorers – senior guards Ty Cockfield (14.9 ppg.) and Grantham Gillard (8.7 ppg.).
Syracuse was 23-14 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 before a loss to Duke ended its 2017-18 campaign.
