The Albany Great Danes will head to the JMA Wireless Dome to take on the Syracuse Orange on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.
The Orange come into the matchup with a 4-4 record but are looking to rebound from a narrow 69-64 defeat to Notre Dame. Despite their two-game skid, Syracuse remains undefeated on their home floor (4-0) and enters this contest as the clear favorite. Leading the charge offensively is J.J. Starling, who is averaging an impressive 19.8 points per game, making him a significant threat for Albany’s defense to handle.
The Great Danes, also sitting at 4-4, are coming off a hard-fought 80-74 loss to Boston University. While Syracuse has the edge on paper, Albany shouldn’t be counted out just yet.
