Syracuse vs. UConn preview: Five things to watch

The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team didn’t look its best in the last game against the Morehead State Eagles. But the 15th-ranked team in the nation still managed to come out of their first week of regular season play with a 2-0 record.

This week, Syracuse will look to keep their hot start to the season going with a win against the Connecticut Huskies, a team that has had its fair share of history against coach Jim Boeheim and the Orange. UConn also come into this game at 2-0, so you could say this is Syracuse’s first real “test” of the season — as they’re up against an undefeated team outside of the Carrier Dome (Madison Square Garden).
