PHILADELPHIA — Adrian Autry introduced the concept before Syracuse’s first scrimmage. The Orange built a star-studded starting lineup in the offseason around J.J. Starling and Donnie Freeman.

Center William Kyle III first remembers Autry coining the term in the offseason. Fast forward a few weeks and Syracuse’s (3-0, 0-0 Atlantic Coast) 21 bench points helped it to an 80-50 victory over Drexel (1-3, 0-0 Colonial Athletic) Saturday.
