Back to Basketball

Before the season started Friday, The Daily Orange released its 2015 basketball guide, profiling a big man’s return from injury, the new SU point guard, a refined now-backup point guard and a reserved big man expanding his game. From’s the woman’s team, the guide included a player returning from two ACL surgeries in two years and the woman who will keep shooting 3s despite a disappointing 2014-15.

Football competes with No. 1 Clemson

For just a moment on Saturday, college football mattered in Syracuse, football beat writer Sam Blum wrote. That’s because Syracuse (3-7) took the nation’s No. 1 squad, Clemson, into the fourth quarter down by just a touchdown. But in the end, the team couldn’t capitalize. Also, running back George Morris  made the most of his opportunities in the game.
