The Syracuse basketball team plays their first exhibition game of the season against Daemen on Saturday. Inside The Loud House gets you ready with what you need to know to be able to watch and listen to the game.
Syracuse basketball is back and ready for its 2019 season opener. Sure it may not be the regular season yet but there are lots to be excited for. This year’s team will be young and featuring multiple freshmen including Quincy Guerrier, Joseph Girard III, John Bol Ajak, Jesse Edwards, and Brycen Goodine.
In addition, Jalen Carey, Marek Dolezaj, Bourama Sidibe. Howard Washington, Buddy Boeheim, Robert Braswell, and Elijah Hughes, among others, all return when the Orange take on Daemen, a Division II team from Amherst, NY Saturday night in the Dome.
Syracuse should easily roll over this Daemen team at home, but it will still be interesting to see if this team can still put up big offensive numbers as they did in Italy this summer. As mentioned, this team is young, but it is very talented.
Guerrier is already being listed on multiple NBA Draft websites as a prospect, while Goodine, Edwards, and Girard were highly recruited coming out of high school. This team has very little experience working as a unit, but they might make up for it with their talent. Daemen, in this exhibition game, should provide a good first test for a team still trying to find an identity.
So what should we expect?
Well, we should see the starters get a run for three-quarters of the game before Jim Boeheim pulls them in favor of bench players and walk-ons. In addition, we may see Boeheim experiment with a man-to-man defense once again as he did in Italy, while still playing 2-3 zone most of the game. Lastly, with all the shooters this team has, I think its safe to say this team will take over 20+ three-point attempts and make good on a lot of them. Either way, it should be a fun game.
So how can I watch or listen to the game?
The game will be shown on ACC Network Extra on the WatchESPN app, so you will need a subscription to watch the game. The good news if you can’t make it to the game (in person) or watch it online/through the app is that the Orange basketball game will also air on the radio.
