It’s not even Halloween, but the Syracuse basketball season is here! The third season of the Adrian Autry era could be a flash point for the future of the program. It also gets underway with a pair of exhibition games. First up is Saturday’s game in Buffalo, N.Y., against the Buffalo Bulls, a rare exhibition game against another Division 1 opponent. The unofficial Dome opener comes next Wednesday against the Pace Setters.
There are literally two scholarship players returning from last season’s team, so there are a lot of new faces and a lot to learn about the 2025-26 Orange.
