Syracuse enters the 2022-23 season in a situation it has not been in under Jim Boeheim. Coming back from a losing season. The Orange finished the 2021-22 campaign below .500 for the first time in more than 50 years and has completely reshaped the roster in the offseason. While veterans Joe Girard, Jesse Edwards, Benny Williams and Symir Torrence are all back, Syracuse has seven newcomers in freshmen Judah Mintz, Quadir Copeland, Justin Taylor, Chris Bunch, Maliq Brown, Peter Carey and transfer Mounir Hima. Syracuse won both of the two exhibition games for the Orange, against Indiana (PA) and Southern New Hampshire, though neither victory was particularly impressive. The regular season started with a win over Lehigh, loss to Colgate, win over Northeastern and overtime victory over Richmond. The Orange followed that up with an overtime loss to St. John's, home loss to Bryant and blowout loss at Illinois. Syracuse bounced back with an impressive road win at Notre Dame, blowout of Oakland, convincing victory over Georgetown, knocking off Monmouth and beating Cornell. The Orange then suffered a setback against Pitt before bouncing back against Boston College and Louisville. Syracuse then fell at Virginia before topping Virginia Tech and Notre Dame. The Orange lost a heartbreaker at Miami before blowing out Georgia Tech and losing another heartbreaker to North Carolina. Virginia Tech then dominated Syracuse before the Orange lost yet another heartbreaker to Virginia before beating Boston College and Florida State on the road. Syracuse followed that up with a signature win over #23 NC State and a blowout loss to Duke.
Clemson came into the season without high expectations. Despite that, the Tigers won its first seven ACC games and started the conference schedule 10-1. Since then, Clemson has gone 1-4 with losses to Boston College, Miami, North Carolina and Louisville with its lone win being over Florida State. The Tigers shoot 36% from three point range as a team, led by its best player Hunter Tyson. Tyson is averaging 15 points and nine rebounds per game while shooting over 41% from beyond the arc. PJ Hall also averages 15 points a game and shooting 39.7% from deep at 6-10. Guard Chase Hunter is a quality scorer and distributer at 14 points and four assists per game.
