Syracuse Basketball schedules nonconference game with Oakland

The Syracuse basketball squad has officially scheduled a nonconference game vs the Oakland Golden Grizzlies to be played on December 18 in the Carrier Dome.

These two squads have faced off three times previously in history and all of those outings took place in the loud house:

  • 2008: SU beat Okalnd by 20 (86-66) back in November of 2008.
  • 2009: Orange won by 32 points in December of 2009 (92-60)
  • 2017: While the most recent matchup saw SU slide by with a 74-50 win.

The Orange may be 3-0 in this “rivalry”, but this contest will feature a battle of worldly coaches who have stacked a lot of wins over the years.
