Syracuse Basketball to Host Georgetown in 2022-23 Season /

In this story:

Syracuse and Georgetown will square off once again next basketball season. The Orange announced on Tuesday that it will host the Hoyas on December 10th in the JMA Wireless Dome during the 2022-23 season. This will be the 98th meeting between the longtime rivals, with Syracuse holding a 52-45 advantage. The first meeting took place in 1930, a 40-18 Orange triumph. The most recent meeting took place last season, with Georgetown winning 79-75.

Syracuse has previously announced non-conference games against Colgate, Lehigh and Oakland. The game against Lehigh will take place on November 7th. The matchup with Colgate is scheduled for November 15th. The contest with Oakland is slated for December 6th. All three will take place in the JMA Wireless Dome.

The Orange is coming off of a 16-17 campaign, its first losing season of the Jim Boeheim era. The team will look drastically different this season, with three starters departing. Joe Girard and Jesse Edwards will return to their starting roles, however. Syracuse also has six incoming freshmen in guards Judah Mintz, Quadir Copeland and Justin Taylor, forwards Chris Bunch and Maliq Brown, and center Peter Carey. The Orange has also added Duquesne transfer center Mounir Hima.

Georgetown finished the season 6-25 and on a 21 game losing streak. Following its win over Syracuse, the Hoyas won the next game against Howard before losing the rest of its games.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
