Syracuse vs. Florida Southern: Orange Defense Stymies Moccasins for 96-54 Win

The Syracuse offense shined again in its second exhibition game, putting up 96 points, but the defense fueled the offense allowing the Orange to score 96 points on 48.3 percent shooting from outside.

The Florida Southern Moccasins came to town to take on the Syracuse Orange under first year head coach Mike Donnelly. Florida Southern never stood a chance as Syracuse got out to a 10-0 lead and never looked back, winning 96-54. D-II championship belt time!

Kaleb Joseph provided an immediate spark off the bench, hitting back-to-back threes in his first few minutes of action.
