There’s only two preseason exhibition games for the Syracuse basketball team to tune things up before things really count in the regular season.
In the opening exhibition game vs Saint Rose, Tyus Battle struggled mightily creating points and quite frankly being thrust into the point guard role due to injuries. But Tyus did do well facilitating for his teammates in a tight spot.
Frank Howard is out with an undisclosed lower leg injury (no expectation on his return), Howard Washington was warming up before the game but he’s still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered bask last season, and finally Jalen Carey was questionable heading into Wednesday night’s game but Jim Boeheim after the game said when he’s ready, he’ll be ready they aren’t going to rush him back.
