Syracuse Basketball 2023-24

Bumping this for the season, man I was impressed with the new guys in the exhibition.

 

Really loving having a big man like McLeod in the middle and playing more man allows for the talented guys like brown and Williams to match up and use their length and athleticism. Then we got guards like Sterling and Mintz. Shooters in Taylor and bell.

 

This should be a tournament team

What’s up with Chance Westry?  I still haven’t heard about the nature/severity of his injury.

SU reported lower body injury and out indefinitely.  I hope it’s not the same knee he shredded last season.  🫤

[Bray Wyatt]

So Benny Williams did not play (didnt see him on the bench either) for the last exhibition game last night. Announcers said he was suspended for violating team rules 🤦‍♂️

[Buffalo716]

Season opener tomorrow night at the dome!!

 

Go orange!

I am excited about this season, two legit top PG, and I will love to see more than a 5-6 man rotation

[Bray Wyatt]

Not sure why we don't keep bell and Taylor on the floor at the same time. Also any word on what happened to get Williams suspended?

 

Congrats Red on your first win!

I really liked what I saw from the team. I think Red is still messing around with the rotation. And I am sure they are still trying different things on defense. 
 

But to your point, we need some shooting out there. I really can’t believe Mintz and Starling and Copeland can’t hit wide open 3s.

 

by the way, I love how Cuffe plays!

Anyone else hear the rumor about the alleged “dust up” between Benny and Red Autry in practice last week that led to his suspension?  I heard Benny got in his face screaming and it got ugly.  Autry threw him out of practice.

That made me chuckle as it reminded me of when my mother asked my son, maybe one year out of college, how many times a week he dusted his apartment. His expression was PRICELESS!  😂 

 

I’m only here because I can’t look at the football stuff right now. So many GENIUSES! Or is that Guinnesses? Hard to say for sure. 

 

My older sister and a close friend went to Syracuse, so I feel a bit connected. I’m just glad to have some hoops to focus on. College hoops is my secondary “thing”, but mostly Xavier.

Judah is that boy 🧡🍊

Was wondering what happened! Is there a timeline on when he may return if at all? I wonder what made him so mad

Again, just info from a trusted source.  I have no idea as to the duration of his suspension. 

[Your Brown Eye]

I heard/read Williams *should* be back from his suspension soon. I do wonder what the cause of the argument was...

Cuse looking better against Canisus. 
 

it is amazing though how terrible their zone looks even in limited minutes. Canisus just gashed it when they went to zone.

Definitely a bit nervous about the defense. It's so nice to have a pair of guards as quick as Judah and JJ are though. JJ's jumper a bit concerning too; I feel like he had a reputation as a pretty good shooter but the numbers and eye test are both not good right now.

Agreed. Bit of a weird hitch on JJ’s outside shot.

Saw on FB that Benny Williams is back for Colgate
