With two games down in the season, Syracuse basketball is undefeated. That’s the important part. The scary part is, had a few things gone differently, the Orange could be 0-2 right now. After a hard-fought victory against Lehigh, Syracuse had to make a big comeback to beat St. Bonaventure on Tuesday night after being outplayed for much of the game.
But instead of looking at the negative, let’s just focus on the fact that the team pulled through some adversity and came out with a win. There were definitely some standout players in the game for Syracuse, and also some players who were either invisible on the court, or just didn’t get much playing time.
Let’s take a look at how each of the players performed. I will give some in-depth analysis for each, and then an overall grade for their performance. Let’s start with the best and work our way down from there.
First up is a guy I’ve been championing for the past six months as the star of this team, and boy did he deliver against St. Bonaventure.
