The Syracuse basketball team will square off with Seattle, out of the Western Athletic Conference, this coming Saturday night inside the Carrier Dome, in the initial match-up between these two units.
The Orange (1-1, 0-1) and the Redhawks (2-2) are going toe to toe in a “campus game” of the NIT Season Tip-Off, an event where the ‘Cuse will suit up versus Oklahoma State and then either Ole Miss or Penn State in late November at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Seattle and its head coach, Jim Hayford, like to compete at an up-tempo pace.
