When Syracuse takes the court aboard the USS Midway on Sunday, the players will be wearing specially designed uniforms and sneakers from Nike, according to a news release from SU athletics on Thursday.

No. 9 Syracuse plays No. 20 San Diego State at 4 p.m. Sunday in the Battle of the Midway on the San Diego waterfront. The game is being televised on Fox Sports San Diego and is available nationwide on Fox Sports Regional Networks.

The game is the season opener for both Syracuse and San Diego State. The two programs have played each other once before, ending in a Syracuse 80-64 win in a 2007 NIT game at the Carrier Dome.
