SYRACUSE, NY -- Syracuse will host long-time rival St. John's on December 6, 2014, in the Carrier Dome. The game is the second contest of a home-and-home series announced prior to last season.
Syracuse and St. John's have squared off in men's basketball 88 times overall. The Red Storm is the seventh-most familiar foe in Orange hoop history. Both programs were original members of the BIG EAST Conference. Syracuse moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2013-14.
The two programs first met on February 8, 1912. Syracuse owns a 51-37 advantage in the overall series. The Orange have won the last nine pairings with the Red Storm, including a 68-63 victory at Madison Square Garden, last season.
SU earned its sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth and finished with a 28-5 overall record, last season. The Orange won 25 straight games to start the season and was ranked first in both national polls for three weeks.
Coach Jim Boeheim, owner of the second most coaching victories in Division I history (948), will guide his alma mater for the 39th season.
St. John's earned an NIT berth a year ago and finished its campaign with a 20-13 record. Steve Lavin enters his fifth season as head coach.
