Syracuse, N.Y. - As the 2018-2019 Syracuse Orange basketball season unofficially got underway on Friday, Jim Boeheim came to the podium at the Carmelo K. Anthony Center and greeted the local media and spoke for almost 20 minutes. Shortly thereafter, players were greeted by the media to discuss a wide array of topics in what will assuredly be the lightest atmosphere all year.
Expectations have risen for Syracuse this season as every starter is back from last year’s Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament and reinforcements have made their way into the fold in the form of Elijah Hughes, Jalen Carey, Buddy Boeheim and Robert Braswell.
