The Atlantic Coast Conference released Syracuse’s conference schedule for the 2020-21 college basketball season on Tuesday, just over two weeks before it begins. The Orange open with a road game against Boston College and return to the Carrier Dome 10 days later to face Notre Dame.

SU’s nonconference schedule, which hasn’t been released in full, includes a game against Bryant on Nov. 27, the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at Rutgers on Dec. 8 and a game against Georgetown at an undetermined date, according to Jon Rothstein.

In the 20-game ACC slate, Syracuse will face six teams twice: Boston College, Pittsburgh, Louisville, North Carolina, Clemson and NC State. Syracuse will play five total games against the four ACC teams that opened the season ranked inside the AP Top 25 poll. 

The NCAA announced Sept. 16 that teams can play up to 25 games, depending on whether they participate in a multiple-team event, and they must complete 13 to be eligible for the NCAA Tournament.
