Syracuse Basketball: Colgate, Obviously, Back On The Schedule In November

You can change our conference and upend our traditions but there are three things that will never, ever change. Death, taxes and the Colgate Raiders visiting the Carrier Dome to play the Syracuse Orange in a basketball game once a season.

The Syracuse University basketball team will face Colgate for the 166th time when the two teams meet at the Carrier Dome on Saturday, Nov. 16.

This will be Game No. 166 for the two squads. As you probably suspected, Syracuse's lead is sizable (120-45) as is their win streak (47 consecutive). Here's a reminder of what happened in last year's contest.

I'd go into Colgate's record last season and notable returning players, but, c'mon, does it matter? We've been through this enough times that we don't need to B.S. one another.

So, let's update the schedule as we know it...
