Syracuse coming in: Syracuse knocked off Bryant 85-84 in the season opener, and then blew out Niagara 75-45 to start the season 2-0. COVID-19 has already impacted the Orange's season. Syracuse was sloppy on both ends in the opener, but had not practiced in two weeks due to head coach Jim Boeheim and an undisclosed player testing positive for COVID-19. Prior to the Niagara game, it was announced there was another positive test within the program. Buddy Boeheim is in quarantine as a result of contact tracing. He missed the game against Niagara and will also be out against Rider and Rutgers. Kadary Richmond took his place in the starting lineup against Niagara, and had a stellar performance. They will also be without center Bourama Sidibe, who is out four weeks due to a torn meniscus.

Rider coming in: This game will be Rider's season opener. The Broncs finished 18-12 last season, averaging 71.7 points per game.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
