Syracuse men's basketball will expand its non-conference schedule to 14 games in the 2026-27 season, after a change in NCAA rules allowing a total of 32 games. This increase opens opportunities for Syracuse to schedule former Big East rivals like UConn and St. John's. Assistant coach Peter Corasaniti expressed the importance of planning, focusing on five Quad 1 games, and considering the financial aspects of scheduling. Regional games in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., are viewed as crucial areas for both fans and recruits.
SU's assistant coach Peter Corasaniti stated, "Now I've got 14 open spots and I don’t need to play in a tournament. I need to go get five Quad 1 games a year."
Syracuse has the opportunity to rekindle old Big East rivalries with 14 non-conference games available in the 2026-27 season, allowing for creative scheduling.
