Gerry McNamara’s first Syracuse Men’s Basketball non-conference home schedule is looking a lot like one from his playing days as as the Orange will welcome the Cornell Big Red to the JMA Dome.

After a year off, Cornell joins Colgate in returning to the Syracuse schedule in the 26-27 season. The two teams will play on Wednesday November 18th and this will be the 130th meeting between the schools.

Syracuse holds the edge 98-31. The Orange have won the last 44 (#BRAND) meetings between the Central New York rivals and will look to keep that streak going.

It seems likely that the Orange will have a game on November 14/15 and with football on the road, it would seem like that’s a good time for Albany to make the trip West on I-90 to play, or maybe that’s when Syracuse squeezes in a trip to NYC to face Rutgers or St. John’s?

Those are the final three non-conference games to be scheduled so we should hear about those dates soon. So far, Syracuse’s non-conference schedule looks as follows:

• November 2: New Haven (JMA Wireless Dome)
• November 5: Central Connecticut (JMA Wireless Dome)

• November 18: Cornell (JMA Wireless Dome)

• December 8: Colgate (JMA Wireless Dome)
• December 16: Canisius (JMA Wireless Dome)
