Syracuse’s Atlantic Coast Conference schedule was released Wednesday night. The Orange hosts Duke on Jan. 9 at 7 p.m., Georgia Tech on Jan. 12 at 1 p.m. and Pittsburgh on Feb. 23 at 1 p.m., among other schools.

SU’s road slate is highlighted by trips to Maryland on Jan. 16 at at 8:30 p.m., North Carolina on Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. and perennial powerhouse and former Big East foe Notre Dame on Feb. 9 at 3 p.m.

Syracuse plays 16 ACC games in total. Six of the teams it faces finished 2012-13 in the Associated Press Top 25, including No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 5 Duke. The Orange ended the season in the No. 22 slot, earning a No. 7 seed in the NCAA tournament after a 24-8 regular season campaign and a trip to the Big East tournament semifinals.

Kayla Alexander, Carmen Tyson-Thomas and Elashier Hall graduated, but sophomores Brittney Sykes, Brianna Butler and Cornelia Fondren will look to lead Syracuse back to the postseason in its first year in the ACC.

The Orange’s non-conference schedule will be announced at a later date.
