Monmouth at Syracuse, Nov. 18: Heck yeah I've got Monmouth on here. This team brings many of the dudes from a squad that won 28 games last season; defeated UCLA, Notre Dame, USC and Georgetown; and was wrongly snubbed from making the NCAA Tournament. Monmouth's Justin Robinson, a senior, might be the best player on the court in this game. And of course: [URL='http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/look-monmouth-wins-again-bench-goes-star-wars-in-latest-celebration/']that glorious bench of goofballs[/URL]. What will the Hawks' scrubs come up with this year? 18. Syracuse at Wisconsin, Nov. 29 (Big Ten/ACC Challenge): The made-for-TV league-vs.-league events are good for giving college hoops much-needed true-road-environment tilts. Here we have Syracuse, which seldom plays outside New York state borders prior to Christmas, going into Madison. Cuse will be worth the watch because grad transfer Andrew White should factor in immediately. SU freshman Matthew Moyer is someone I'm eager to watch develop. 28. UConn vs. Syracuse, Dec. 5: Madison Square Garden is the ONLY viable option for these teams, since a home-and-home isn't scheduled. I fully plan on being in the building on this Monday night. UConn's combo of Jalen Adams and Rodney Purvis should be a lot of fun. Syracuse has got guy after guy in the frontcourt. Paschal Chukwu, a Providence transfer, can grow into a real piece, and Tyler Lydon's probably going to play for the Orange one more season, then head to the NBA. 40. Georgetown at Syracuse, Dec. 17: Syracuse's true rival returns to the Carrier Dome. Thank you to both of these schools for reviving this series. Georgetown will have a tough test here, but I wouldn't put it past the Hoyas to pull off a mini stunner here. Syracuse fans are very hopeful about this team's overall chances this season. That Final Four run last year was unpredictable, to say the least. Longtime Orange fans know that Boeheim's had some problems in years past with too much expectation.
