GameThread: Syracuse Orange (8-1) vs. Georgetown Hoyas (8-0)

The Syracuse Orange (8-1) play their first true road game of the year today against the rival Georgetown Hoyas (8-0). While the Hoyas are undefeated, their schedule thus far has been literal garbage, making it tougher to know what they really are just yet. Hopefully, “what they are” is an 8-1 team at the end of this game.

Things get started from Washington D.C.’s Capital One Arena at 12:30 p.m. ET. You can watch the game on CBS or stream it via their online platform. Happen to be at the game? Send us pictures of the mostly orange-hued crowd.
