The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball program has plenty of questions around it, but Wednesday’s season opener was all answers. SU beat the Monmouth Hawks, 87-46 in a game that was largely put away in the second quarter as the Orange took a 49-28 lead into the half.
Despite the roster turnover, Syracuse got out and ran for stretches in ways that were reminiscent of the old regime. And with such a deep roster, they were able to try out a lot of different lineup combinations — especially once things appeared decided. On the night, 10 different SU players were on the floor for at least 10 minutes.
