A Closer Look: Syracuse
Syracuse, under first-year head coach Adrian Autry, opened the season with wins over New Hampshire (83-72) and Canisius (89-77) before having to come back from down 24 points at home on Tuesday to beat Colgate, 79-75.
Sophomore guard Judah Mintz leads Syracuse at 23.0 points per game. The Orange are No. 120 overall in the KenPom ratings, ranked No. 86 in adjusted offensive efficiency and No. 170 in defensive efficiency.
“We know they have a really good team,” fifty-year senior guard Santiago Vescovi said. They have good guard (Mints) and a really big man. I believe he’s like 7-4 (Naheem McLeod).
“And we know it’s a team that is trying to figure out stuff, too. I think they have a new coach now. They’re trying to put all the pieces together so we know it’s gonna be a battle and, yeah, we’re ready to play them.”
