Jim Boeheim arrived late for the ACC Coaches Teleconference in what became an abbreviated interview with reporters. He and North Carolina head coach Roy Williams spoke consecutively about their teams entering Tuesday’s North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Syracuse Orange game, which tips off at 9 p.m. EST.
Walk-ons
Boeheim credited his walk-on roster for their role in Syracuse’s game prep. He said they regularly serve as a scout team, previewing what the Orange’s next opponent will throw at the regular rotation.
Adrian Autry, Antonio Balandi, Brendan Paul, Shaun Belbey, Ray Featherston and Ky Feldman round out that group — which occasionally takes the floor for the Orange when a game is out of reach in the final moments.
