What to Know

The Syracuse Orange are 5-0 against the Cornell Big Red since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Tuesday. 'Cuse will be home for the holidays to greet Cornell at 9 p.m. ET at Carrier Dome. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Orange were close but no cigar last week as they fell 79-75 to the Georgetown Hoyas. One thing holding 'Cuse back was the mediocre play of forward Jimmy Boeheim, who did not have his best game: he played for 39 minutes with 5-for-14 shooting.

Meanwhile,'s it's hard to picture a worse defeat than the 93-60 bruising that Cornell suffered against the Virginia Tech Hokies two weeks ago.

The losses put 'Cuse at 5-5 and the Big Red at 8-2. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Orange are 14th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 77.9 on average. Cornell's offense has more to brag about, as they they rank second in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 88.1 on average.
