Duke at home, on road highlights Syracuse’s 2014-15 ACC opponents

The Atlantic Coast Conference released its 2014-15 and 2015-16 matchups Tuesday morning. Syracuse is entering its second season in the ACC after finishing 28-6 and losing to Dayton in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament in its first year in the conference.

SU will play a home-and-home with Duke, Boston College, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech in the 2014-15 season. Syracuse and Duke split the home-and-home in 2013, with the home team winning both games. The Orange will also travel to North Carolina for the first time since 1983.

Syracuse will host Louisville for the first time since 2013, when SU lost 58-53 to the Cardinals. This year’s game will mark the first time the two schools face off as ACC foes, as Louisville is entering its first year in the conference.

The Carrier Dome will also play host to Florida State, Miami, Virginia and Wake Forest, all of which SU traveled to last year. Syracuse beat Florida State, Miami and Wake Forest on the road in 2014, but lost to the eventual ACC regular-season champion Cavaliers by 19 in the team’s most lopsided loss of the season.

The Orange’s trip to UNC will mark the first time the teams square off on Tobacco Road as ACC foes. SU will also travel to former Big East rival Notre Dame, Clemson, Georgia Tech and North Carolina State.



In 2015-16, Syracuse will play a home-and-home with Boston College, Florida State, North Carolina and Pittsburgh. SU will host Clemson, Georgia Tech, N.C. State, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech, and will travel to Duke, Louisville, Miami and Virginia.
