Article about the Arkansas game:
http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/30/southerland-cuse-holds-on-against-arkansas/
Includes the quote:
"The Orange struggled with the Razorbacks’ pressure, coughed the ball up 19 times and still was able to win on the road. And that will the last time Syracuse is on the road this calendar year. The Orange have nine-straight home games before a Jan. 6 matchup at South Florida."
Not only is it unnecessary to include this, it is also false. The Temple game at MSG is on Dec 22. If the media wants to sharpshoot Syracuse about neutral court games 3000 miles away from the Dome and 10 miles from the opponent's campus, then they do not get to call MSG a true home game for the Orange.
Of course, even the Syracuse media (both Mike Waters and Brent Axe) have screwed up relative to this today as well, saying that yesterday's win was the 5th non-conference road game in the past 10 years. It was at least the 6th, because they curiously omitted the win at Michigan State in February 2003. There may have been more, I don't know, and I know they aren't doing any real fact checking.
