Frank Howard and Syracuse will be traveling back down to the Verizon Center in late December.

Syracuse’s matchup at Georgetown this season is reportedly set for Dec. 16, per Mike Waters of Syracuse.com. The game is tentatively scheduled to start at noon, per Waters.

The matchup is the third in a four-part series that the two schools agreed to in the summer of 2014. The move came as a result of SU leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Two years ago, Georgetown beat Syracuse 79-72 at the Verizon Center. It was then-associate head coach Mike Hopkin’s first game filling in for a suspended Jim Boeheim. This past season, the Hoyas came to SU and despite Tyler Lydon’s 29 points, beat the Orange 78-71.

SU’s full schedule isn’t released yet. The dates for the Kansas (Dec. 2) and Connecticut (Dec. 5) are already set.
