Syracuse Basketball: Predictions for opener vs. Eastern Washington
Paul A. Esden Jr.
Prediction: Syracuse wins 85-66
It’s lid lifter time for the Syracuse basketball squad. The Orange will be battling an array of point guard issues. More than likely Tyus Battle will be leading the squad for the Orange.
Fortunately enough Tyus has ‘battle scars’ from playing point guard through preseason exhibition. He’s had some success and some failures and I think ultimately that’s going to help him in his NBA career to be and presently with the Orange.
Syracuse even with their point guard issues dominated Saint Rose and LeMoyne, understanding the competition, still worth noting.

But I think the player to keep an eye out for is Elijah Hughes. This guy is going to take the league by storm, I had been hearing whispers about how special he is and we saw it in exhibition play. Give me the ORANGE big, 85-66, Hughes goes off from downtown with six big threes.
