The status of Syracuse’s 90-39 win over Lincoln on Wednesday has been changed from a scrimmage to an official game, Syracuse Athletics announced in a press release.

The Orange’s home-opener was moved from the Carrier Dome to the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center when “a few droplets of water” were spotted on the court by a game official. The game was designated as a private scrimmage in light of the move.
