Syracuse basketball will host those pesky Hoyas on Jan. 9, and the Orange needs to come ready to play.
Syracuse basketball will welcome former Big East Conference rival Georgetown to the Hill in early January, and the Hoyas aren’t expected to do a lot of damage in their league this season following a sub-par outcome in 2019-20.
Last year, Georgetown finished near the bottom of the Big East, compiling a 15-17 overall record that included a first-round loss to St. John’s in the conference’s post-season tournament, an event that got canceled along with everything in the sport, including the 2020 March Madness, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
