FAMILY REUNION
For the second year in a row it will be the Battle of the Boeheims when the 'Cuse faces the Big Red. Junior Jimmy Boeheim will make his third appearance in the Dome as a member of the Cornell squad to face his younger brother, Buddy, and Orange head coach Jim Boeheim. In last season's meeting, Jimmy scored nine points and pulled down six rebounds, while Buddy recorded three points in a 63-55 Syracuse win. As a freshman, Jimmy scored 11 points and had five rebounds for Cornell in his Dome debut.

ORANGE UPDATE
Syracuse (2-1) posted its second straight win with an 89-67 victory against Seattle in the Dome on Saturday. Freshman Joseph Girard III made his first career start and led all scorers with a season-high 24 points. He was 7-for-8 from the field, including 5-for-6 from 3-point range, and 5-for-5 from the free throw line.

Girard III wasn't the only freshman to reach double figures in scoring against Redhawks. Quincy Guerrier came off the bench to add a season-high 14 points.

SCOUTING THE BIG RED
After the starting the season with a win against Binghamton, Cornell has lost three games in a row. The Big Red is coming off a 75-54 setback at DePaul on Saturday.

Jimmy Boeheim leads a group of three players who average double figures in scoring, averaging 15.3 per game. That group also includes Terrance McBride (14.5 ppg.) and Josh Warren (10.5 ppg.). Warren leads the Big Red on the boards (7.3 rpg.) and in assists (16).

Brian Earl is in his fourth season at the helm of the Cornell program. Last season, he guided the Big Red to an invitation to the CIT, which was Cornell's first postseason appearance since 2010.

Syracuse leads the all-time series with Cornell, 93-31. The Big Red's last victory against the 'Cuse came in December 1968. In last season's meeting, Tyus Battle scored 26 points to lead the Orange to a 63-55 victory in the Dome.
