Here is Syracuse's recent history with pre-season tournaments:

1998 Maui Classic (1st)
1999 Carrier Classic (1st)
2000 Great Alaska Shootout (1st)
2001 Preseason NIT (1st)
2002 2K Classic (Showcase format)
2003
2004 2K Classic (1st)/Jimmy V Classic 
2005 2k Classic (2nd)
2006 Jimmy V Classic (2nd?)
2007 Preseason NIT (3rd)
2008 CBE Classic (1st)
2009 2K Classic (1st)
2010 Jimmy V Classic (1st)
2011 Preseason NIT (1st)
2012 Carrier Classic (1st)
2013 Maui Classic  (1st)
2014 2K Classic
2015 Battle 4 Atlantis (1st)

Some thoughts:

Don't think we played in one in 2003.  Kind of strange given we were the defending national champions.

SU played in the 2K Classic two years in a row because it was re-branded from the Coaches vs Cancer right around then.  I think there is a rule now that you can't in a pre-season tournament more than every 4 years.

SU is overdue for the preseason NIT.  I expect they will appear in that again next season.   If not that, then I would expect to see SU booked for the Jimmy V Classic, which will also get them games at MSG.
