1) How would you describe Syracuse’s season so far? Has it lived up to expectations?

Paul: Meh? Don’t get me wrong, things are pretty good. Syracuse has won four in a row, they’re undefeated in conference play, 2-0 in true road games, etc. There’s a lot of reasons to be positive. Nonconference play wasn’t great, Syracuse lost four games, and every time they’ve done that in history they haven’t made the tournament by season’s end. If the Orange want to flip that narrative this season, they have to make up for it in conference play. Prior to the season Syracuse was a trendy final four pick, so you could say expectations were pretty high and they definitely haven’t lived up to it yet, but there’s still time.
