They are both in the Old Spice Classic next week in Orlando, and are going to play 3 games down there and may meet in the Championship game next Sunday. However, because the NCAA allows these preseason tournaments to have up to 4 games count as 1 game instead of playing that 4th game against a tomato can at home which everyone in the Maui Invitational, Coaches vs. Cancer, Gotham Classic, Preseason NIT, Hall of Fame Tipoff, O'Reilly Classic in KC are doing they decided to test each other and get another power game on their schedules.
This concept is something I hope Syracuse and other top teams do to get an good home on the schedule occasionally. What Syracuse could do in the future is if they wanted was play Baylor at home or on the way out to Maui instead of that extra 4th game being against St. Francis and if they didn't meet in Baylor in Maui during the tournament. Good job by the Memphis and Oklahoma State coaches and hopefully in the future we see this more.
