Syracuse basketball has looked good through two non-conference games, and now the Orange is headed to the City of Brotherly Love to face Coastal Athletic Association ("CAA") member Drexel.
The Dragons are located in Philadelphia, and this game will be played in Philadelphia, yet this is a neutral-site affair. Hmmm. In any event, the 'Cuse (2-0) will play Drexel and then host Monmouth before heading to Las Vegas for a challenging docket in the Players Era Festival, highlighted by No. 1 Houston and No. 25 Kansas.
While the Orange's first two wins were against Binghamton and Delaware State (I mean no disrespect here), the 'Cuse is allowing just 45 points per contest, among the best in the country.
