Here we go—the “real” season has arrived. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (9-4) begins ACC play against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-4) on the road Saturday at noon ET. The Orange didn’t meet expectations in non-conference play, as their offense showed similarities to last year’s inconsistency, leading to multiple disappointing losses.
Injuries were a headline of the first 13 games of the season for the Orange, but now that the whole roster seems to be ready for the toughest part of the season, Syracuse has no excuses for letdown in their final 18 games of the season.
