The 2018-2019 season will be the fourth straight in which the Orange and Georgetown will play. Syracuse won last year’s contest in Washington D.C., 86-79, in overtime. The Hoyas took the previous two games.
A game time for this year’s Orange-Hoyas game won’t be known until Syracuse’s ACC schedule is announced, which is usually about late August, according to a Syracuse basketball spokesman.

Syracuse was 23-14 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 last season. The Orange returns all five players who were starting at the end of last year as well as quality depth beyond that.

The Orange will open their 2018-19 season on Nov. 6 at home versus Eastern Washington.
