Backcourt support was an anomaly to say the least for the Syracuse Orange last season — just look at Frank Howard and Tyus Battle’s minutes per game, and that should tell the tale itself (as you know, the two found themselves at the top of the list in the nation).
With the school year right around the corner, the Orange are starting to gear up for the 2018-19 campaign, as the expectations have taken quite a leap compared to last year’s roller-coaster ride of a season. Coach Jim Boeheim is going to need his backcourt to dominate once again, but if all goes as planned, the two should find themselves at the top of a different list this year, and that is in large part due to the help they are getting on the perimeter.
