Wesley Johnson introduced himself to the Syracuse faithful with 25 points against UNC. But it was not until Johnson, a 6-7 transfer from Iowa State, lit up Madison Square Garden the last two nights that the rest of the country got acquainted with his singular talent as well. Johnson scored 25 points Friday night to lead Syracuse to a stunningly lopsided 87-...

I would be lying if I told you I thought the Orange would be 4-0 at this point of this season. I would have been pleased with 3-1. The team lost its top three scorers from last season, including Jonny Flynn who basically controlled every aspect of the offense last year. Syracuse easily beat Robert Morris and Albany. I had hope and optimism from those two games because the Orange not only beat those teams, but they beat them easily, something that Syracuse really has not done for the past...

Maybe they're dealing with heavy roster turnover. Maybe Le Moyne is just a sneaky good Division II team. One thing they shouldn't have been short on was motivation. I mean, one of their assistant coaches -- Rob Murphy -- actually recorded a freestyle for the player introductions. There's good news o...

Together, they combined for 14 assists and zero turnovers. The two players represent a distinct change from Flynn, a dynamic playmaker who specialized in getting th...

Who are the winners? Who are the losers? Who fits well and who could surprise? Well, there was also the guys who weren't selected in either round of the draft.
