Hopefully that is the case.

SU got the worst possible draw for travel for hoops.  Away games against SMU, Stanford and Cal.  Only two schools were given this awful treatment:  Syracuse and Pittsburgh.

I think the ACC said any existing ACC school that was assigned an away game against one of the Cali schools would also play the other one the same year, with the plan to play them both on the one road trip.

It would be ideal if Syracuse could play all three of the newbie road games on a single road trip.  The first week or two of January makes sense, since SU does not have classes then so the kids would not miss any class being out West for a week.

Fly out on a Saturday, play on a Monday, then a Thursday, then on Saturday.  Fly back home on Sunday.

Let's see what the ACC does.  They should bend over backwards to try and mitigate the impact of what they have imposed on SU and Pitt (Pitt would presumably do the same thing the other week in early January).

Like they did with the NC schools, who get to play each other all the time and rarely have to go to places like SMU, Stanford and Cal.
