After a 48-34 loss to Virginia, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim revealed his true thoughts on the ACC using a conference game as the season opener.

"You never want to play the elite games so early," Boeheim said after Wednesday's game, per Jeff Goodman. "It's stupid. Just a money grab."

The Orange shot just 23.6 percent from the field and 17.2 percent from three-point range in the loss to the No. 11 team in the country.
