Frank Howard and Syracuse lost to Duke twice, the second of which ended the Orange's 2018 NCAA Tournament run.

Syracuse’s full 2018-19 Atlantic Coast Conference schedule was released by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.

Though the dates and times have yet to be released, the headliner of SU’s conference schedule is a home-and-home matchup with Duke. The Blue Devils knocked the Orange out of the 2018 NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16.

The Orange, which finished the 2017-18 season 8-10 in conference play, will also face Clemson, Boston College and Pittsburgh in home-and-home matchups.

Highlighting Syracuse’s home schedule is a matchup with Florida State, an opponent against which the Orange fell in double overtime to this past season. Rounding out the home slate is Miami, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.

Its road schedule includes a date with North Carolina, a team the Orange was unable to beat in both its 2018 matchups. SU will also be traveling to Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State and Wake Forest.



The 2019 ACC Tournament will be in mid-March in Charlotte, North Carolina. SU made it past the first round in 2018 before falling to UNC 78-59.

Below is Syracuse’s full ACC slate:

Home-and-home series: Duke, Clemson, Boston College and Pittsburgh

Home games: Florida State, Miami, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech

Away games: North Carolina, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State and Wake Forest
