Almost two months to the day Jim Boeheim revealed his prophecies of what the 2017-18 Syracuse Orange would feature, it’s easy to go back and trounce one of his predictions. In fact, he did it himself after the Orange improved to 8-1 with a win over Colgate last week.
Tomer Langer of The Daily Orange asked about the three-guard lineup, an idea that Boeheim himself proposed Syracuse would likely play often this season. Boeheim shifted and completely denounced his commitment, the group got some run toward the end of the first half but he made it clear small-ball would not be featured prominently in rotation.
