Syracuse needed a road win in the most desperate way. The Orange had lost at the Barclays Center. At Madison Square Garden. In Chestnut Hill. In Blacksburg. In Chapel Hill. And in South Bend. Going against an average NC State team, Syracuse needed a win in Raleigh in the worst way. And behind an all-time…… Continue Reading

John Gillon Fantastic In Win Over #6 Florida State
It should be no surprise that Syracuse’s best performances have come when the Orange gets good guard play. We’ve only been talking about that all season. Saturday in an upset over Florida State, John Gillon was fantastic. Sure, he made some mistakes, I think he could have moved the ball a bit more towards the…… Continue Reading
SU Shows Hope in Big Second Half Against Wake Forest
The second half on Tuesday night against Wake Forest was a reason to believe in the Syracuse Orange. The SU defense clamped down for much of the half, including an extended 19-4 run to propel the Orange into the lead. It took a lot to get a win over Wake Forest, and holding the Demon…… Continue Reading
Enough is Enough: Feature Tyler Lydon
If Syracuse is going anywhere this year, it is on the back of Tyler Lydon. And it’s time for SU to realize that. The players, the coaches, everyone needs to realize that Lydon’s has got to be the go to guy on this team. Lydon is shooting exactly 50% (90-180) on the season after the…… Continue Reading
Tyus Battle Shines in SU Win
While the number 1 option on this team may be Andrew White, and the leader might be Tyler Lydon, teams need more than two scorers to be successful. And that is where Tyus Battle steps in. Battle can be that third option. That guy to take over the second half after White has his successful…… Continue Reading
This is What Was Expected
The Syracuse Orange has arrived in what we have thought they’d be before the season. A team that can explode offensively behind the firepower of Andrew White, John Gillon and Tyler Lydon. One that can lock down on you defensively with the prowess of Tyler Roberson and Lydon (again). And one that can run up…… Continue Reading
Syracuse’s Leader? Look No Further Than Number 20
All season long we’ve been searching for “leadership” and a leader on this Syracuse basketball team. A vacuum was created with two fifth year senior starters graduating, and seemingly nobody stepped up to fill the void. As if it weren’t obvious before as to which player would fill that void, Wednesday night it became abundantly…… Continue Reading
Syracuse Puts up All-Time Offensive Performance in Win Over Eastern Michigan
Take a look at the box score from Monday night’s SU game. A couple of stats should stand out. First, the Orange had 8 players with 10 or more points, Syracuse hadn’t done that in nearly forty years. The next thing that jumps off the page should be the insane assist number: 34 on 37…… Continue Reading
Syracuse in Trouble After Loss to Georgetown
After the loss to South Carolina, then Wisconsin, and even the loss to UCONN, it felt like Syracuse still had some time to right the ship and get the season back on track. The losses to South Carolina and Wisconsin seemed alright because both those teams are top 25 caliber teams, and the Wisconsin game…… Continue Reading
Long Way to go for SU
Right now, Syracuse is a lower team ACC team. That isn’t a surprise. The Orange has won just two ACC games each of the last two years, and won just one the in 2014. Yesterday’s loss to Florida State proved the Orange has a long way to go to become a “top flight” team in…… Continue Reading
