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 started out the season hot, winning its first five games before suffering a setback against Charleston. The Hokies then won its next six to move into the top 25 before losing its next seven games to Boston College, Wake Forest, Clemson, NC State, Syracuse, Virginia and Clemson again. Virginia Tech likes to shoot a lot of threes to the tune of 24 per game and makes 34.8% of its attempts. Guard Sean Pedulla leads the team with 16.0 points and 4.3 assists per game. Hunter Cattoor is one of the best shooters in the ACC and can get scorching hot at any time. Center Lynn Kidd is their biggest player at 6-10, 235 pounds but only plays about 14 minutes per game. The front court is primarily comprised of Justyn Mutts (6-7, 220 lbs) and Grant Basile (6-9, 235 lbs). Mutts is the most physical player and leads the team at over seven rebounds per game. He had a big game against Syracuse last season in Blacksburg with 12 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Basile had a big game in the Dome with 26 points and 10 rebounds earlier this season.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
