Aztecs are projected to open as a top 20 team maybe just inside the top 15. They are a very good team and Syracuse never travels. Just don't get destracted but our sun and bikinis in November! Could be a long flight home!!

These aren't marquee names when put together. I can get behind Florida as a team that's won national titles relatively recently, but not Georgetown.

Michigan State, and specifically Mark Hollis should be credited in any story going forward about basketball games being played on military vessels. It was his brain child that everyone is copying. If there were real games played like this for our troops before, I have never heard or read of it. Great leadership by Hollis and MSU.

Does Syracuse playing on a ship off the coast of San Diego against San Diego State count as a road game or will Doug Gotlieb and Dick Vitale say that Syracuse now has to leave the USA for a matchup to count as a road game?

I see the trolls (eliminate the BCS) are as dumb as ever.

Syracuse needs to take a page out of Georgetown's book with the schedules, as once again, our OOC schedule is filled with utter trash. Besides this SDSU game, our next best games are @ Arkansas and Temple, probably borderline top 25 teams at best. I thought we were supposed to play @ Mizzou, what happened to that? At least we're in Maui next year but on the down side we'll be in a far inferior conference by then.
