Syracuse basketball has begun its official pre-season practices, and head coach Jim Boeheim says his team is in a good spot.

Syracuse basketball possessed a relatively young and inexperienced roster a term ago, but now that line-up is a year older.

Head coach Jim Boeheim says this smaller learning curve is beneficial as his squad had the ability to commence with its official pre-season practices on Wednesday.

That’s important to note, because the novel coronavirus pandemic not only cut short the 2019-20 stanza, but it also “eliminated off-season workouts and wiped out almost the entire summer,” per a report from Mike Waters of Syracuse.
