The Syracuse Orange (13-10, 4-6 ACC) will look to stop a three-game road slide when they square off against the Virginia Cavaliers (19-3, 8-2 ACC) on February 7, 2026 at John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia won its previous game against Pittsburgh, 67-47, on Tuesday. Sam Lewis led the way with 15 points, plus three rebounds and one assist. In its previous game, Syracuse lost to North Carolina on Monday, 87-77. Its high scorer was Donnie Freeman with 23 points.

"It's been an interesting mix of reactions!" Locci told Outsports. "We've had a lot of support, with people saying the kiss warmed their hearts, that they were so happy for us or that they needed to see that, especially after this last year." Locci, a physical therapist on Broadway shows, also runs a personal training company focused on LGBTQ+ health and wellness.
