Good catch regarding the Friday/Sunday turnaround.  I think Gait liked to do this with the Women's team so no real surprise he's trying to bring it over to the men's side.  Hopkins did this last year and their fans got pretty upset with the results.  I would think both games Syracuse should be pretty heavily favored, but I thought that against the Danes last year as well. At least both games are home.

Looks like the early Duke game will be happening at the Dome and not San Diego or another distant locale.  Gives the Orange nine of their first 11 games at home, which is pretty favorable.  Syracuse gets a lot of grief for not having enough road games, but I think as the calendar inches up closer and closer to January, it's hard to argue with playing games in the Dome.  Having the last four games of the season on the  road, against some tough competition is not ideal. Will have to make the most of the early home games.

Love that there will be 15 games, the more Orange lacrosse, the better. Makes for a pretty packed calendar but with the early start time (again no issue with weather, see Dome), everything is pretty spaced out for the most part.  Only one other game besides the Holy Cross game on short rest, against Hofstra following Hopkins.
