Syracuse men’s basketball: Three takeaways from 79-75 victory over Colgate

The Syracuse Orange trailed for over 36 minutes on Monday night, and by as many as 24 points in the second half, against in-state foe Colgate — and improved to 3-0 on the season.

What?

It was a comeback for the ages and an early classic in Adrian Autry’s tenure as head coach. It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was quite ugly for a while there. But there was an increased intensity on the glass in the second half, a full-court press that caused havoc for the Raiders and a career-high 25 points for Chris Bell that led the way for the Orange.
