SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse basketball will once again play Colgate, its most familiar foe, next season after COVID-19 put the local rivalry on hold for one season.
Syracuse announced Wednesday that is scheduled to meet the Raiders on Saturday, Nov. 20, in the Carrier Dome. The two programs snapped a streak of 27 straight annual meetings in the 2020-21 season because Colgate didn’t play a non-conference schedule amid the pandemic.
Colgate, a power in the Patriot League, is Syracuse’s most familiar foe, with the two clubs having faced off 172 times. The Orange lead the all-time series against the Raiders, 127-45, and have won 54 straight games against the school from Hamilton. In the schools’ last meeting on Nov. 13, 2019, the Orange won 70-54.
