SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Adrian Autry’s head coaching tenure is off to a near-perfect start. After surviving a scare from New Hampshire 48 hours ago, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (2-0) looked looser on the court and raised its shooting percentage by 12 points in an 89-77 win over Canisius (0-1) on Wednesday night. Judah Mintz led the way with a career-high 26 points, and J.J. Starling chipped in 17 points with seven rebounds and seven assists.
