2/12/2015 10:59:00 AM | Men's Basketball
The Syracuse Orange and Duke Blue Devils will once again play in front of 35,446 fans Saturday in the second Carrier Dome  meeting between the two legendary programs. The crowd will match the college basketball on-campus single-game attendance record set when the two teams faced off in last season's epic game - won by the Orange in overtime 91-89.

Â
The game matches the two winningest active coaches in college basketball with Mike Krzyzewski now at 1004 wins and Jim Boeheim with 964.  The Orange and the Blue Devils tip off at 6pm. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN. Last year's contest was one of the highest rated regular season basketball games in ESPN's history.

The Carrier Dome has already hosted the two largest crowds to see college basketball games this season. The 30,677 that saw the Orange take on Miami on Jan. 24 ranks first and Dec. 6's crowd of 24,884 for the St. John's game ranks second. Last season, Syracuse led the NCAA in home attendance for the 13th time with an average of 26,253.
