Looking At the Syracuse Orange 2007-08 Hoops Schedule

The Big East has released the 2007-08 schedules for the 16 member schools. This year, all teams play each other once and there three home-and-homes in an 18-game conference schedule. All the schedules can be found here.

Toughest Non-Conference Games: at Virginia, St. Joseph's

Big East Home-and-Homes: Georgetown, Villanova and South Florida.

Toughest Stretch: The final stretch of the conference slate will make or break Syracuse with the upper-half of the Big East competition. Starting on February 16 they face Georgetown at home. Then it's consecutive road games at Louisville and Notre Dame. After that it's home against Pitt, then a relative breather at Seton Hall before ending the regular season with Marquette on March 8.

Biggest Game: February 6, UConn. Just past the halfway point of the conference slate, and the only meeting between the two teams that have long ruled the conference. Both are looking to reassert themselves.
