Foreplay

Syracuse (5-4) hosts Georgetown (7-2) for its centennial rivalry game on Dec. 14.

These two foes have met as conference and non-conference rivals, with games dating back to 1930. The two programs have had a tense relationship on the field since 1980, including matchups between Syracuse and Georgetown nearly 30 times through 1980′ the ones.

These two teams have battled since they were conference rivals in the Big East, and since then it has been a regularly scheduled matchup for Syracuse. Chris Bell is the only player to have previously experienced Orange vs. Hoya’s rivalry for this Syracuse roster.

The Orange beat Albany on Tuesday, 102-85, after losing four of their last five games. Head coach Adrian Autry changed his starting lineup against the Great Danes, subbing Elijah Moore for Donnie Freeman. Freeman was a game-time decision against Albany, scoring 24 points. Jaquan Carlos recorded his first double-double of the season in Tuesday’s matchup, recording 12 assists – his highest assist total since breaking the CAA single-game record with Hofstra.

Georgetown’s five-game winning streak was snapped on Dec. 6 after the Hoyas lost to West Virginia in Morgantown, WV, 73-60. Jayden Epps, Thomas Sorber and Malik Mack combined for 40 points in the loss. Sorber is Georgetown’s leading scorer through the first month of the season, averaging 15.4 points per game. match.

Georgetown scored just eight bench points against the Mountaineers – the second time in as many games the Hoyas didn’t record more than 10 points off the bench.

One thing both teams have in common: struggle to shoot from distance. Both Syracuse and Georgetown are shooting under 30% from beyond the arc, while their opponents have made at least 69 triples this year.

Freeman’s perfect 4-for-4 against Albany helped the Orange’s percentage, while Georgetown’s Mack is the best percentage for the Hoyas, shooting just under 40%. Still, neither team has played a match with consistency from long range. Having a single player shoot well can have an impact on this rivalry game.
