'The Syracuse Orange men's basketball team has one of the top programs in the nation. The Orangemen have played in three NCAA championships and have emerged victorious once. The Syracuse basketball program ranks in the top 10 for most victories by an NCAA basketball team and has posted winning records for nearly 50 consecutive years. The Orange has appeared in 40 NCAA tournaments and has made it to the Final Four six times. The Syracuse Orange found itself in unfamiliar territory as it was unranked in major preseason polls to begin the 2002-2003 NCAA basketball season. However, that was the season when freshman sensation Carmelo Anthony led the charge as the program earned its first championship. Syracuse joined the Big East Conference in 1979. The team won 10 regular-season Big East titles and five tournament titles before leaving for the ACC in 2013. Coach Jim Boeheim has been the man in charge in Syracuse, N.Y., for more than four decades. Get your seats at the game at StubHub.'

The
Carrier Dome
was once the exclusive home of the Syracuse Orange football team, but the basketball team moved to the arena since it was not being used during the basketball season. The result is the largest Division I basketball arena in America and a number of attendance records.
''When you purchase a Syracuse Orange basketball ticket, you will be reminded that the word fan is short for fanatic. You will not experience the type of energy and excitement you will see from the sea of orange-wearing fans loudly demonstrating their love for the Orangemen in many other places. The student section at the Carrier Dome is known as Otto's Army, named for the team's grinning citrus mascot, and these collegiate fans set the mood for the entire building.'
'The Georgetown Hoyas represent the most heated rival for the Syracuse Orange. The rivalry goes back to the 1980s when the two teams were the cream of the crop in the Big East Conference. The Connecticut Huskies is another old Big East foe with whom Syracuse shares on-court animosity. Other entertaining rivalries with the Orange include the Louisville Cardinals and the Villanova Wildcats.'
'The Syracuse Orange has benefited from the play of a few very special players over the team's more than 100 years in existence. One of these players, Carmelo Anthony, averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds in a single season at Syracuse before going on to a perennial All-Star career in the NBA. Derrick Coleman excelled at the center position for the Orange. He was selected No. 1 overall in the NBA draft when he left Syracuse and still owns a number of school records. Dave Bing averaged 27 points a game while at Syracuse and played alongside current coach Jim Boeheim.'
'The Duke Blue Devils team is scheduled for a showdown at the Carrier Dome on Feb. 1, 2020. Perennial powerhouse North Carolina is due in Syracuse on Feb. 29.'
'Jim Boeheim has been head coach of the Syracuse Orange basketball team since 1976. The unprecedented run made by Boeheim and the Orange includes more than 30 NCAA tournament appearances and five trips to the Final Four.'
