GameThread: Syracuse Orange (0-0) vs. Virginia Cavaliers (0-0)

Congratulations. You’ve all made it this long without a Syracuse Orange men’s basketball game. The wait is officially over, as the Orange will get things tipped off in the Carrier Dome momentarily against Virginia.

Both teams look to replace four key players from a season ago, as the Orange lost Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett, Frank Howard and Paschal Chukwu, while Virginia lost Ty Jerome, Kyle Guy, De’Andre Hunter and Jack Salt.

Syracuse is currently a 3-point dog in this game, with the over/under set at 121.5.
