Teams playing their second game of the season vs teams playing their first have one 62% ATS and SYR won the first game for new HC Autry a former player here and long-time assistant as this is the first season in 50 years without Jim Boeheim.

Syracuse returns 3 starters and while their #1 scores transferred to Clemson JJ Starling, a Notre Dame transfer, fit right in playing the most minutes on any Orange player. Syracuse only shot 5-21 from three but their D which now includes some man-to-man was strong versus New Hampshire and I expect the Orange to shoot better in game 2 on Wednesday night.
