Maryland Terrapins at Syracuse Orange

Prior history in the event: Maryland is 10-8 (10-5 w/ ACC, 0-3 w/Big Ten), Syracuse is 1-3

History against each other: Maryland leads the series 5-3. Syracuse won the last meeting 57-55 in 2014.

Maryland and Syracuse are two outstanding programs which will automatically make this one a must-watch. Melo Trimble (Maryland) and Tyler Lydon (Syracuse) are both off to the NBA, but this will be special nonetheless. Syracuse is a very tough team to play in the Carrier Dome, while Maryland was one of the best road teams in the country last season.
