This is going to be another tough team on the schedule. Syracuse returns a solid core from last year's Sweet 16 team:

Syracuse will return its top three scorers from last season: Battle, talented freshman Oshae Brissett and guard Franklin Howard. Big men Paschal Chukwu and Marek Dolezaj will also be back, and the Orange will bring in wing Jalen Carey (ESPN, No. 36) and Boeheim's son Buddy, who is one of the top shooters in the incoming freshman class. East Carolina transfer Elijah Hughes sat out last season, and the 6-foot-6 wing is eligible this year.

They weren’t good. At all. They were lucky to get in. But they will be better than last year with the returning players and their new guys. Hopefully it will be a very close and intense game

At least we won't have to see two hours of KO's angry facial expressions.

You folks are relentless.

I do think it’ll be weird seeing somebody else on the sidelines, especially for this game.

Right decision. Cuse-UCONN is the marquee match-up and they gotta ensure it happens.

Gonna be a difficult game but if Hurley can get them prepped it could be a great game to watch!

Wins vs. Syracuse and Oregon in consecutive days wouldn't be a bad way to start the Hurley era.

I'm surprisingly shocked they did something to guarantee the matchup everyone cares about happens.
