Gerry McNamara’s ACC Debut & New Challenges | Virginia Cavalier Basketball News

Gerry McNamara’s Syracuse basketball debut is set for a road test against Florida State, flipping the script from Jim Boeheim’s home opener in 2014. The schedule leans hard into ACC grueling matchups — Duke, UNC, Virginia, and Louisville at home — while non-conference games lean local with Colgate and Cornell. Stanford’s ACC arrival adds another twist: Syracuse won’t host them until January 27, highlighting the league’s vast geography. A Christmas break after Binghamton on Dec. 22 gives players time to recharge before ACC chaos. Meanwhile, Syracuse football finally hits Palo Alto next season — another milestone as the Orange adapt to ACC life under new leadership.
