Syracuse 66, Eastern Washington 34 : Orange begin season with a win
Mark Konezny-USA TODAY SportsThe Syracuse Orange got their season off to the start they wanted with a 66-34 win over the Eastern Washington Eagles. The Eagles kept it close to start the game, but the Orange were able to separate themselves with swarming defense, throwing on the press in the first half.
Syracuse used the same starting five they used in exhibition play, and the winning trend continued. Marek Dolezaj came off the bench and hit two early jumpers, one of them being a three, to help the Orange offense find a rhythm on the offensive end and breakdown the Eagles defense.
