With Melo on hand and Kiyan on the court, Syracuse basketball will be exciting this year

It remains to be seen how many games Syracuse basketball will win in the upcoming season, or if the Orange will return to the NCAA Tournament following a four-year absence.

But this 2025-26 campaign for the 'Cuse will be fun. No doubt about it.

A big reason why is that Kiyan Anthony is a freshman shooting guard on the Orange's roster, and we all know that his dad is Syracuse basketball legend Carmelo Anthony.

Before he became a Hall of Famer, freshman Carmelo Anthony put Syracuse on his back, leading the Orange to its first-ever national championship.
