Hop could very likely start the season 2-5 and still be a very good team. Nice for Syracuse to get them when they do, at the end of a very tough five game stretch. Should obviously be an emotional game for Petro.
also former SU commit Russ Maher now at Hop.Could be good for the Orange in that Hopkins will very likely be worn out after that stretch. But another way of looking at it is: Hop will be seriously battle tested by then, while Syracuse may not be to that extent. It will be Hop's 7th game and probably Cuse's 5th? or so, and that early season schedule will surely include a couple of Stony Brook/Holy Cross/Colgate/Binghamton/Hobart types. Either way emotions on both sides will be incredibly high.

Hop is the home team , Cuse will be traveling by bus and likely the morning of game .
Cuse 4 preceding games will be as physically and mentally exhausting as Hop preceding 4 games .
Of the two ,Hopkins has been touted as the team trending up.
I stand corrected OX, thinking about another opp, hop is ten hrs by busWe travel the night before the game.
Motel 6 always leaves the light on for us.
?no one is talking about the dark cloud that has quietly creeped in, hopefully it will pass and ways wont revert back
Got it. ThanksI think he’s referring to Covid and the presence of a new variant, and the impact that might have on the spring season. For road games last year I don’t think the team was allowed to stay overnight in hotels and had to bus back and forth day of games.
