Syracuse men’s basketball ACC schedule released

Well, you can start to mark your calendars Orange fans because the Syracuse men’s basketball conference schedule has officially been announced and there are lot of games to circle that will be taking place at the Dome.

Oddly, the Orange do not play many home conference games on the weekends when the calendar turns to 2027. Obviously, there is just something special about an ACC opponent making the trip to upstate New York with a Saturday tip and a student-filled JMA Wireless Dome, but that does not happen much this season, and there are downsides to a few of them. Over the course of conference play, the home Saturday games are:

That’s it. Two real weekend marquee matchups and two duds, while all other conference home games during the weekday. They played five home Saturday games last year and all of them took place with students on campus.
