SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Jim Boeheim goes into his 39th year as head coach at Syracuse with lots of new faces and the usual firm resolve to make something happen when it counts most.
The Orange lost an awful lot from that team: leading scorer C.J. Fair and inside defender Baye Moussa Keita exhausted their eligibility, and standout point guard Tyler Ennis and forward Jerami Grant left for the NBA.
Syracuse has another strong incoming class: 6-foot-6 guard Malachi Richardson, a five-star recruit; 6-2 point guard Kaleb Joseph, who helped Cushing Academy of Massachusetts to its second straight New England Prep School Athletic Conference championship; 6-9 forward Chris McCullough; and Tyler Lydon.
Syracuse has exhibition games against Carleton (Nov. 2) and Adrian (Nov. 10) before opening the season Nov. 14 at home against Kennesaw State.
