The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season is just three weeks away from its first exhibition game. Perhaps for some of you that seems a bit quicker than anticipated given the football team’s undefeated start.
Alas, basketball season draws near and the state of the Syracuse program is as interesting as ever. Jim Boeheim enters his 47th season at the helm. It’s the diamond anniversary of the 77-year-old head coach, who stepped foot on campus as a freshman 60 years ago. But in 2021-22, Syracuse experienced its first losing season of Boeheim’s career and first losing season for the program since Roy Danforth took over for Fred Lewis in 1968-69.
