Adrian Autry is well aware no one believes Syracuse can win a Quad 1 game in Las Vegas at the Players Era Championship, where the Orange will compete in a field that includes No. 2 Houston, No. 11 Alabama, No. 13 Gonzaga, No. 14 St. John’s and No. 24 Kansas, among other top-tier programs.

He says that’s fine. Because, if Autry’s squad wasn’t venturing west to face star-studded opponents, the third-year head coach doesn’t think that’d go over well with SU’s hungry fanbase.
