Syracuse basketball digs too deep of a hole to escape in loss at Stanford

Brent Axe breaks down Syracuse basketball's 70-61 loss to Stanford.

The Orange dug itself way too deep of a hole to escape in trailing Stanford 25-2 in the first-half. While SU did cut the lead down to six points late in the game, it couldn't do enough to overcome Stanford, who never trailed against Syracuse. 

Axe broke down SU's poor starts and the other stat that keeps sinking games for SU, points off turnovers. SU gave up 19 points off 14 turnovers. 

With SU heading for a losing season, Axe wonders how low things could sink for SU and if Adrian Autry can find an identity for this team and give the fan base something to cling on to other than a good recruiting class coming in for 2025.  

Brent also got amazing feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders (even late into the night!) on the loss to Stanford.
