  • The Orange built a 54-game winning streak versus Colgate, but the Raiders ended that in 2021-22. Colgate won again in 2022-23.

The Orange were 20-12 a year ago in Adrian Autry's first campaign at the helm. Syracuse returns guard J.J. Starling (13.3 ppg.) and forward Chris Bell (12.0 ppg.) from last season's squad. Both head into their junior campaigns as returning starters.
