The Syracuse Orangemen and Lafayette Leopards first met in 1957 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Orangemen would win 75-71 led by Gary Clark's 34 points. The two teams would not play again for 13 years.

In 1971, Syracuse center Bill Smith set a school record with 47 points in a 106-92 win over Lafayette. Tracy Tripucka of Lafayette would score 41 points in the losing effort that game.

Syracuse and Lafayette met in 2021 after a twenty six year break. Jim Boeheim and Fran O'Hanlon were both still the respective head coaches, and it is believed to be a record for longest gap of years between two coaches meeting.
