I don't think eastern mich. Rob Murphy said last year that he had had enough.

could be

 

[Alsacs]

We will play 4 games for 1 in the 2K Sports Classic
@Michigan
St. John's
@Villanova
Binghamton
Cornell
Long Beach State
Holy Cross
then I bet one of the last two HAS TO BE Colgate and then 1 TBA.

My wife who is a Holy Cross grad will be pleased

Not a bad slate for a raw and young team. Should give us a good evaluation headed into ACC play.

 

[Chris02M]

according to a poster on ncaabbs board holy cross will visit the dome on 11/28

 

[CaptainJ]

This is an OOC schedule Ive longed for in years past. Not as much this season, as we may actually lose some of these games. But as SoBeCuse said, it will be a good measuring stick and should help with ACC play, if we value those games more than OOC games. I hope this kind of OOC tradition continues into the future. I dont mind a moderate number of creampuffs in the dome(we've seen even they aren't always gimmes), but winning games like these will help build credibility that some on here crave, as well as provide better stepping stones toward growth than this team is used to. Kudos to whomever was in charge in this shift in philosophy.

 

[Chris02M]

Long Beach State come to the Dome on 12/28

 

[jdubs30]

Hope we see Texas. Their frontcourt will be a load this year, it will be a good test for Rak/McCullough/Roberson

 

[Alsacs]

Andy Katz in his 3 point blog said its likely Syracuse will be matched up with our West Coast nemesis Calfornia for the 3rd straight year in the 2K Sports Classic as the organizers would prefer a Syracuse vs. Texas final.

 

[orange79]

I am so tired of playing Cal. But I'm not tired of beating Cal.

We play Michigan on Tuesday, December 2nd. Why can't Boeheim give Rob Murphy a return trip five miles away to the Convocation Center at EMU on that Saturday?

JB doesn't like Rob Murphy that much. Cripes, JB doesn't like Julie that much to play at EMU.

To quote Randy Moss :"Straight cash homie" Syracuse can play anybody at the Dome and get atleast 18k people to attend. I doubt EMU's home arena holds more than 10k.

Its why Michigan doesn't like playing road non-conference football games because of the $$$ they draw. SU basketball is one of the few BB than can make a lot of money in attendance because of the Dome.

If Michigan and Michigan State are willing to play there, and Cal is willing to travel across the country so their coach can give his understudy a game, then SU can get over themselves and do it.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Absolutely. That Ridley and co. are a load to handle. They improved a lot second half of the season.

So even though it wouldn't benefit Syracuse in any way, they should play at EMU. I disagree. We are doing them a big enough favor playing them.
