SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University men's basketball team will face Syracuse University on Saturday, November 26 at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, the two schools announced on Thursday.

Bryant will head back to Syracuse for the second time in three years. The Bulldogs opened the 2020-21 season against the Orange, falling 85-84.

Senior Charles Pride will get one more chance to take the floor in his hometown after posting 15 points and seven rebounds against the Orange in 2020. Bryant led 51-44 at the half and 82-80 with just over three minutes to play before a buzzer-beater fell off the rim.
