The Syracuse basketball team just opened the 2015-16 regular season with a big win over Lehigh. After a rocky start and trailing 9-8 early, the Orange turned up the defensive intensity and the offensive firepower to take a commanding 32-12 lead into the half. Lehigh would fight back and get the game as close as six points, but in the end the Orange proved too much and won 57-47.
There’s certainly a lot to digest from this first game. There were a lot of positives to take away and certainly some areas that the team can improve in.
