And They’re Off ..::.. Upstate Orange 11/14/13

Syracuse is off to a 2-0 start to their 2013-14 campaign with wins over Cornell and Fordham. After seeing this season’s iteration of the Orange, are they better or worse than you thought they’d be? Also, is Dajuan Coleman ready to make an impact, who will be the leading rebounder on this team, and who’s taking the last shot? And how about this… it’s quite possible that the Big East or even the American Athletic Conference will have more NCAA Tournament bids than Syracuse’s new conference, the ACC.
