Syracuse (1-0) started the Adrian "Red" Autry era with a win against New Hampshire (0-1), 83-72, on Monday night inside the JMA Wireless Dome.

Sophomore guard Quadir Copeland achieved his first double-double of his career, grabbing a career-best 12 boards and scoring 10 points. Sophomore guard Judah Mintz scored a team-high 20 points, which included a 9-of-11 effort from the foul line. This is the fourteenth consecutive game Mintz has scored in double-digits.

WHEN THE GAME WAS DECIDED
With 1:38 left in the game, Mintz spun to toss in his 20^th point, giving the Orange an 11-point lead and sealing the victory for the home team. Copeland went on to make a layup with :47 left to produce his first career double-double.

LEADING EARLY
With 14:04 left in the first half, Syracuse surged past the visitors with a 11-0 run. The stretch gave the Orange a 28-6 advantage with 9:51 left to go. The Orange held a double-digit lead for the rest of the first half. Three Orange performers slammed down dunks. Mintz started the run with a slam off a caused turnover, Peter Carey scored his first collegiate basket with a dunk off a lob from sophomore guard J.J. Starling, and Copeland added dunk.

HOT AT THE FOUL LINE
Syracuse shot an impressive 81.5% (22-for-27) mark at the charity stripe. The guard duo of Mintz (9-for-11) and Starling (4-for-4) combined to make 13-of-14 attempts. Six different Orange players were able to toss in at least two from the line.
