As J.J. Starling sat at the very end of Syracuse’s bench, he had a towel draped over his head. Instead of being on the court, where he’s expected to be one of SU’s most important players this year, a lower body injury forced him to miss all but the first three minutes of the game.

But even with their star senior guard confined to the bench, the Orange (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) blew out Binghamton (0-1, 0-0 America East) 85-47 in their first game of a pivotal Year 3 of the Adrian Autry era.
