Syracuse Basketball: ‘Jalen Carey will have an opportunity’ to get into the mix

We knew that Joe Girard was going to get his first career start vs Seattle on Saturday for the Syracuse basketball squad. What we didn’t know is what would happen with Jalen Carey.

In his first game riding the bench, Carey never came off of it.

Jalen went from starter to benchwarmer. So why didn’t Jim Boeheim play Carey in this game?

“Because we wanted to win the game.”

It was a brutal assessment by the head coach and his actions spoke even louder than his words.
