Syracuse basketball adds Jacksonville State to non-conference schedule

Whether or not we get a college basketball season (in some shape or form) is still yet to be determined, but that hasn’t stopped teams from scheduling games. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team announced on Monday that it will host Jacksonville State on Thursday, December 10.

Should the game actually occur it would mark the first meeting between both teams. Jacksonville State, located in Jacksonville, Alabama, finished 13-19 a season ago under fourth-year head coach Ray Harper. The Gamecocks finished with an 8-10 record in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Jacksonville State will return 6-foot-7 guard/forward Kayne Henry, who averaged 10.
