SU/Gtown series renewed ... now 4 years

[samspann1]

for 2 more seasons. At Gtown next season, and at the Dome in '20-'21.

[Bayside44]

Woohoo!

 

[sutomcat]

And so ends the Syracuse-UConn series, perhaps forever.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Good...get Nova for 20-21 as well. Could careless about renewing Uconn at this point

 

[Alsacs]

Well we got our nonconference road game so all we need is 2 TBA tomato can home games and our Big Ten home game.

Keep hate alive!

 

[im4cuse]

not our rival; would rather we let them circle the drain

It's true that current students and those who have arrived since 2013 will never know the passion. (Ah, 2013...when the Orange departed the Big East with Georgetown's nets after the regional final).

But that's sad because history counts!
(And there's unlikely to be any ACC team to ever fill the void. After all, everyone goes after Duke...but all they really care about is UNC).

For many of us it's still THE game.
And it's been so rewarding to pin last minute losses on that big goof of a coach and - dare I say it - his sidekick Benedict Arnold Orr.

I LOOOOOAAAAATHE G-town!
GO ORANGE!

Yeah, this is probably bad news for UConn vs Syracuse unless we meet in a pre season tourney.

Eh. Even if they get good again, it won’t have any effect on us IMO. I’m not worried about them. So bring it on. The games the last two years were some of the few times i actually had fun watching college basketball in those seasons.

Hurley’s post-game antics were the nail in the coffin

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think Hurley’s arrogance cost UCONN any chance of continuing the series. He acted like an ass during and after the game.

Yup. Except I wouldn’t even give him the credit of “acting” like an ass. He is an ass, pure and simple.

If Boeheim continues a few more years, he might be able to coach against John Thompson's grandson

 

[Alsacs]

Playing Georgetown appeals to the DC alums and keeps us in DMV.

We should never play another game in CT unless it’s an NCAAT game.

If we play UConn it should be at MSG or in a tournament.

 

[Madbiker]

Frankly, I'd rather play Villanova than Georgetown. The rivalry is long in the rear view mirror. But at least we can beat Georgetown. Maybe.

 

[cuse10]

Georgetown should be better than what they were this season. The expectations for them will be NCAAT or bust. Yurtseven from NC State will be available to play coming off of his transfer year.

Plus, they started 2 decent frosh guards this past season.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

This is great news Georgetown will always be a rivalry. Those who say otherwise are just wrong...Now sign a series with Nova.

Would love a series with Nova, probably more than GTown in all honesty. But not sure I'd do both in the same year with the 20 game conference schedule.

Basically this. I don't care if it's Georgetown, George Washington, or George Mason. It's a chance to see the alma mater play close to home in front of thousands of our fans in a nice NBA arena.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I'm not particularly crazy about this. Georgetown/Syracuse is a shadow of what it was even ten years ago, and in 2019 I'm not sure it matters that much to have a "presence" anywhere tbh.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Love it. My job's new home base is DC and I absolutely bet I can figure out a way to get there on the company's dime and catch a game while I do...
