The Syracuse Orange men's basketball team hosts the Clarion Golden Eagles for their first preseason exhibition of the year on Saturday, October 26 (10/26/2024) at 1 p.m. ET at the JMA Wireless Dome.
Syracuse enters the season with somewhat tempered expectations, after being picked to finish 11th in the ACC in a preseason poll. The 54-member panel that makes the selections put Syracuse at the lowest preseason ranking it's gotten since joining the ACC 12 years ago. Last year they were 10th.
But there's still plenty of enthusiasm around the new look Orange. Especially around freshman Donnie Freeman, who Orange guard Jaquan Carlos called destined for a future NBA career at a recent Syracuse Orange media day.
One question that remains is how soon Chance Westry will be able to return, with some skepticism that he'll make an on-court appearance Saturday. Westry sat out all season due to an injury last year, and has been battling illness ahead of the 2024 start.
