Should Syracuse Start Oshae Brissett at Center?
Oshae Brissett may only be 6-foot-8 but the forward has the tools to play the five for Syracuse. The Canadien is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game and just snagged 14 on Tuesday against Northeastern.

Syracuse Looks Like Top 25 Team in Northeastern Victory
One word to sum up SU‚Äôs 72-49 win over Northeastern tonight? Boring. But that‚Äôs exactly how the Orange wanted it to go. Frankly, that‚Äôs how it was supposed to go.

Syracuse Can Prove Us All Wrong on Saturday

For four years, Eric Dungey has gone hard on every play, and it‚Äôs safe to say his efforts have produced results.

Better yet, before sliding seven spots to No. 19, the Orange…
