The Syracuse Orange (4-1) had six players score in double figures, including second-year player Tyler Betsy (16) in a disappointing loss to Houston in the tournament opener. The Orange battled hard with the top 5 team, pushing the game into overtime by a final score of 78–74. Orange officially has our attention.
Now they’ll see if they can keep it up when they face the 4-2 Jayhawks on Tuesday. Kansas is coming off a 71-61 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and they are playing without freshman Darrin Peterson (hamstring). But they’re still making strides: Florie Bidunga has taken big steps forward (16.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg) and veteran guard Trey White is averaging 14.3.
Other encouraging signs from the Orange include senior William Kyle III, who pulled down 10 rebounds, and a standout bench, which outscored Houston’s reserves 26-7.
On the newcomers front, Kyle III has been a beast inside (10.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.6 blocks per game so far) and freshman Kiyan Anthony is averaging 13.8 points, already scoring in double figures in four of five games. Junior point guard Nathan George is running the show with 5.8 assists and 11.4 points per game.
The history between these two teams is rich, the series was split 3-3, and Kansas was on top the last time they met (2017). Their most memorable encounter? The 2003 national championship when Syracuse defeated Kansas 81–78.
