I grew up in the Albany area from the early 70s to the mid-80s and Siena hoops were much bigger locally than Syracuse. They'd give the Syracuse score (with highlights only if it was a big game) after the Siena highlights. In football you only got a few games each weekend and a few times per year Syracuse was on, but it would just as likely be Penn State, Michigan, etc. The only constant was the one hour Notre Dame highlight show on Sunday morning. Syracuse had its alums in the area so it was represented, but as a private school it hardly picked up the widespread public support that a flagship state university commonly captures.
