Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra men's basketball team will face its second Atlantic Coast Conference opponent in a week when the Pride travels to Syracuse to face the Orange on Saturday. Last Sunday, the Pride traveled to Pitt and defeated the ACC-member Panthers, 80-73. 

Tip-off from the JMA Wireless Dome is scheduled for 4 p.m.

The game will air on the ACC Network and WRHU will have an audio-only broadcast available on the HAWC. Links to both, as well as the live statistics, can be found on this page and on the men's basketball schedule page on GoHofstra.com. 

Hofstra moved to 7-4 with a 92-23 win over SUNY Old Westbury on Wednesday evening. The Pride placed three players in double figures as Biggie Patterson had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Jaeden Roberts also contributed 17 points, and Cruz Davis was in double figures once again with 15 points. 

Syracuse is 5-3 this season heading into Thursday night's home game against Saint Joseph's. The Orange have had quite an extended lay-off as Syracuse last played on December 2, a 62-60 win over Tennessee. Nate Kingz had 19 points and seven rebounds against the Volunteers, while Sadiq White Jr. added 10 points and nine rebounds. 

This will be the fourth all-time meeting between the New York schools and the first since December 22, 2006. The Orange lead the series, 3-0. The first-ever meeting between the teams was December 4, 2001. Two of the previous meetings saw Hofstra face a ranked Syracuse squad with the Orange ranked #9 for the 2004-05 meeting and #23 when the teams met in 2006-07. 

Saturday will be Hofstra's 43rd all-time game against the current members of the ACC. The Pride will be looking for its seventh all-time victory against the ACC following Sunday's win over the Panthers.
