Syracuse, N.Y. -- The Syracuse Orange (6-2) will host Georgetown (7-1) at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Carrier Dome.
Some may say that the Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry is diminished compared to its glory days when both schools were part of the Big East Conference, but with Jim Boeheim one sideline and Patrick Ewing on the other, emotions figure to be running high by game-time.
Syracuse has won four straight games since dropping back-to-back games to Connecticut and Oregon in the 2K Empire Classic at Madison Square Garden. Syracuse's win streak has coincided with the return of senior point guard Frank Howard, who missed the first four games of the season with an injured left foot.
