    Syracuse basketball's poor defense costly at FSU but JJ Starling (and maybe Chris Bell) are back

    Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 90-74 loss to Florida State on Saturday night in Tallahassee. The good news for Syracuse was JJ Starling returned to the lineup after missing 7 games with a hand injury and Chris Bell snapped out of a long slump with 18 points (including 4 3's), but SU's poor defense was costly in the loss to the Seminoles.  Brent also discusses how Eric Devendorf missed the mark with his strong defense of Adrian Autry on the ACC Network.  Brent also got amazing feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the win and where Syracuse basketball stands entering league play.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!

    Syracuse basketball falls below .500 with Kiyan Anthony watching courtside

    Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 81-71 loss to Wake Forest at the JMA Dome on New Year's Eve. SU fell to 6-7 (0-2) with top recruit Kiyan Anthony watching courtside. The more SU slides down the hill in the 2024-25, the more fans will start looking ahead to what Anthony's Orange will look like next year. In the meantime, Brent talked about hiw Adrian Autry has to switch up his starting line-up with Chris Bell's sustained struggles. Lucas Taylor and Kyle Cuffe Jr. gave SU a lift off the bench against Wake Forest. Can they be a consistent 1-2 punch for SU into ACC play? Axe also discussed the main New Year's resolution SU has to make about starting off games better and where some of the inconsistencies on defense and #FreeThrowsMatter need to improve. Brent also got amazing feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the win and where Syracuse basketball stands entering league play.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!

    Syracuse enters ACC slate at .500 after win over Bucknell at JMA Dome

    Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 75-63 win over Bucknell as SU gets ready to begin its full-time ACC slate. Brent discussed how SU continued to struggle from the 3-point line, shooting 1-of-11 distance in the 2nd half.  Encouraging signs from the win included Eddie Lampkin (18 pts, 11 rebs) and Donnie Freeman (15 pts, 11 rebs) both scoring double-doubles and SU's switch to using more zone press seemed to light a fuse on the defensive end.  Brent also wonders how Chris Bell can kick things into gear and which of the transfers will have the most success in ACC play.  Brent also got amazing feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the win and where Syracuse basketball stands entering league play.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!

    Dreaming of a Kyle McCord return and will Washington State make it to the Holiday Bowl? (With Chris Carlson)

    On the latest episode of Syracuse Sports, Brent Axe envisions a world where SU quarterback Kyle McCord is granted a fifth-year of eligibility and what that would look like for Syracuse football. Brent also navigates through a feeling he's never experienced from Syracuse basketball fans and how they are going to have to grind through the rest of the 2024-25 season. Brent then brings on syracuse.com's Chris Carlson to discuss the situation with SU football's Holiday Bowl opponent, Washington State. The Cougars have lost over 20 players to the transfer portal, including 12 starters. Will they be able to field a team on December 27 in San Diego? Brent and Chris also discuss the ups and downs of college football's "silly season" with the transfer portal, NIL, recruiting, bowl prep and the College Football Playoff all intertwining.

  7. Georgetown zones out Syracuse to win 100th-all-time meeting between old rivals

    Georgetown zones out Syracuse to win 100th-all-time meeting between old rivals

    Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 75-71 loss to Georgetown on Saturday afternoon at the JMA Dome. The listed attendance for Saturday's game was 17,18. While the fans that did go to the game were loud and created a great atmosphere for the 100th meeting of SU-Georgetown, that's a concerning number for SU's main rival in a series that routinely used to get 30,000+ into the Dome.  Georgetown ironically used a zone defense, the signature weapon of Jim Boeheim's tenure it had to face for so many years, to flummox the Orange on Saturday afternoon. Eddie Lampkin (18 points) and Jyare Davis (15 points) both had good offensive games inside, but the Orange defense struggled in the paint, get out-scored in that area 48-34.  Brent also discusses the continued struggles of Chris Bell in big games, who had just 3 points for Syracuse, and growing fan concerns about Adrian Autry's coaching methods.  Brent also reacted to thoughts and opinions from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the loss to Georgetown.
