Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim says that the Orange’s best chance at winning games is with senior Marek Dolezaj suiting up at center.
Boeheim, speaking with media members in a Zoom call after the ‘Cuse setback to Duke on Monday evening in Durham, N.C., said that the team’s other reserve centers simply aren’t ready to compete in contests.
Senior Bourama Sidibe, the Orange’s starting center, suffered an injury in the 2020-21 season opener last November. He’s played in just one other game since, and his absence has proven noticeable.
