The Syracuse Orange and San Diego State Aztecs first met in the second round of the 2007 NIT Tournament. The Orange would win that game 80-64.
They would next meet in 2012 in the Carrier Classic aboard the U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier. The game was played on the deck of the ship, and the wind and sun were factors preventing most of the perimeter shooting. The Orange would win 62-49.
The Orange would meet the Aztecs in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Syracuse would upset San Diego 78-62 behind Buddy Boeheim's sharp shooting 30 point night. Syracuse held the Aztecs scoreless for the last 9:41 of the first half.
