Syracuse plays its final exhibition game of the season on Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. as the Orange will host Division II Slippery Rock at the JMA Wireless Dome.
Setting The Stage
Syracuse won its 28th straight exhibition contest on Oct. 26 against Division II Clarion, defeating the Golden Eagles, 101-73.
Wednesday's game will be Slippery Rock's first appearance of the season. Slippery Rock is coming off a 16-14 campaign in 2023-24 that included a 13-9 mark in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Slippery Rock was tabbed to finish second in this year's PSAC preseason poll.
Slippery Rock is led by head coach Ian Grady, who is entering his seventh year leading the program. He is yet to have a losing season and has a career record of 84-62.
Efficient Attack
Syracuse produced a balanced offensive performance in its exhibition debut against Clarion on Saturday. Four players scored in double figures, led by J.J. Starling, who went 7-of-9 from the field in a 17-point outing. Donnie Freeman and Chris Bell both scored 16 points with Jaquan Carlos (14) close behind.
Syracuse shot over 50-percent from the field and connected on 12 3-pointers in the victory. Bell led the effort from beyond the arc with four triples, with Starling (3) and Elijah Moore (2) also making multiple treys.
Six Syracuse players made at least four baskets against the Golden Eagles, with 12 Orange finding the scoresheet.
Newcomers Shine
Fresh faces were key to Syracuse's victory on Saturday, with 55 of the team's 101 points coming by way of newcomers.
Carlos recorded a double-double by tallying a team-high 10 assists to go along with his 14 points. Freeman led the Syracuse debutants in scoring with 16 points, as the freshman went 7-of-13 from the field. Freeman matched fellow newcomer Eddie Lampkin Jr. with a team-best seven boards.
Lampkin Jr. added eight points and four assists, the second most on the team. Also scoring eight points was freshman Petar Majstorovic, who got the start for the Orange.
