Syracuse basketball allowed 84 points in its 2020-21 opener, and that won’t do.
Without question, a lack of practices leading up to its 2020-21 season opener at home against Bryant on Friday afternoon inside the Carrier Dome had a negative effect on Syracuse basketball.
Head coach Jim Boeheim said he shouldn’t have had his guys play the Bulldogs after everyone within the Orange program was forced to quarantine for two weeks following a pair of positive Covid-19 tests earlier this month, including one from Boeheim himself.
