One day after it was reported that the Syracuse men's basketball team would open up its Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) season on Dec. 29 at Florida State, the league revealed its full conference schedule on Wednesday.
As a result, the entire schedule is now nearly complete.
Here's what you need to know:

Thoughts on Syracuse heading into 2026-27?
There's obviously a lot of ground to make up between where this program was last year (15-17, missed NCAA Tournament) and where it wants to go, but I generally feel good about things heading into the season.
The Orange have two solid returners in Kiyan Anthony and Sadiq White Jr. who provide experience and athleticism, but they've also added depth at the shooting guard and small forward spots in the form of Gavin Doty and Aiden Tobiason.
If Amarri Monroe is eventually ruled eligible as part of the ongoing battle for fifth-year players to gain eligibility, that will be another nice piece for new head coach Gerry McNamara's roster.
And of course, McNamara himself is an exciting piece of the puzzle. He just spent two years at Siena, where he took the Saints to the NCAA Tournament in 2025-26 and challenged No. 1 Duke in the Round of 64.
