Syracuse fell short of reaching the NCAA Tournament, and as compensation received a one-seed in the NIT tournament. Now the Orange have a chance to play up to three home games. The first comes tonight against Robert Morris at 8 p.m. in the Carrier Dome.
Robert Morris is 26-7 on the season and comes from the Northeast Conference. The Colonials won the conference regular season title, before falling to NCAA Tournament bound St. Mary's in the semifinals.
Syracuse makes the NIT for the 12th time and second in a row. It's the first time since 1981-1982 that Syracuse hasn't made the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back years.
