Lafayette - Syracuse Preview

It's a new season, which means we're back. And by we I mean mostly me. But also sometimes John. But still mostly me. And we have a basketball preview, which means the new season is upon us. Syracuse opens their season against... <checks notes>... Lafayette. The Lafayette Leopards. I applaud them for going with an alliterated mascot. Either way, they were the 2021 Patriot League "division season champs" with a record of 9-5. Syracuse is 8-0 all time against them, last playing in 1995, with John Wallace dropping 20 points on them. Lafayette isn't good defensively and Syracuse is better than every team in the Patriot League.
