The Syracuse Orange will participate in their first ACC basketball media day today in Charlotte, N.C. The Orange will be represented by head coach Jim Boeheim and seniors Baye Moussa Keita and C.J. Fair.
Player interviews will begin at 9 a.m., but Keita and Fair will not be interviewed until about 9:24. Meanwhile, Boeheim is expected to be asked questions around 2 p.m., however, he will be doing a bunch of interviews in between. (As you can see below he did a nice little Twitter chat this morning.)
Expect today the release of the preseason media poll and preseason All-ACC Teams, which should include C.J. Fair -- and if it doesn't, well, we can all storm the damn ACC together!
A live stream of the event is being broadcasted at TheACC.com.
Feel free to share you comments below and check back for updates throughout the day. The 2013-14 college basketballs season is here all!
