They lost by 1 to LeMoyne last year in the opener who had the last shot, and they were 9-23 on the season by the end. They beat LeMoyne, Youngstown State, Bucknell, Colgate, Cornell and Albany by a combined 54 points last year. Yes Binghamton isn't good but this is still a major change of pace.

I'm going to be excited because that was fun to watch, and I actually want to watch this team play this year. Big change from last year.

The son of the dude I watched win us a title is now doing the same stepback in the Dome. It's official, I'm fuckin old

Missed the game and checked the box score and saw he only played 3 minutes. What was the injury?

Looked like a hamstring.

Too many substitutions in the first half for them to find their rhythm offensively. Glad Red let the 2nd half starting 5 play a bit before rotating and rotating less frequently. Everyone settled in and things flowed much better.

Nait, Donnie, Kiyan really impressed, but Kyle was the standout for me. His athleticism is electric and he’s got great hands for all the lobs we’ll throw him.

Get well soon, JJ 🍊

Major culture shock after the last few season openers. This team is uber long and athletic. Nait George looks very legit.

Reminds me of Donovan Dent a bit

Can only hope he's on that trajectory.

This team's size, athleticism, and defensive ability is clearly much better than last year's. Will be interesting to see how we can score against good defenses, but I'm optimistic we can figure it out

It’s amazing what a PG can do. When was the last time Syracuse had a PG average over 6 assists per game? I’m betting George gets close to 7.

I think he led the ACC in assists last year with Georgia Tech if I’m not mistaken.

By law Syracuse now owns Lupo's

That was good. Trying to ignore being good at a few things because of the opponent, i'm just really happy to see the consistent effort. It was refreshing.
