Syracuse still has plenty of work to do after losing to Oregon

The Syracuse basketball program had hoped for big things in the Big Apple this week. But that result didn’t pan out as planned.

First things first ‘Cuse Nation, let’s not hit the panic button. At least for a bit longer.

The 2018-19 campaign is still in its infancy. Orange senior point guard Frank Howard has yet to see the court this season and there are plenty of future opportunities for Syracuse to pick up quality victories.

Still, what transpired at the 2K Empire Classic inside Madison Square Garden in New York City on Thursday and Friday against Connecticut and Oregon, respectively, is a tad concerning.
