When the Syracuse Orange arrived in the ACC, we knew that the Duke Blue Devils were the team we had to compete with at the top of the league most years. Granted, Syracuse hasn’t really held up its end of the bargain in terms of competing for conference championships. But in terms of actually besting Duke, they’ve been better than nearly everyone else.
Since SU arrived for the 2013-14 season, the men’s basketball team is 4-5 against Duke — with two wins at Cameron Indoor Stadium. That doesn’t sound impressive, necessarily, because it isn’t in the big scheme.
