Syracuse coming in: Syracuse is 3-0 on the season with a come from behind victory in the opener over Bryant, and two blowout wins over Niagara and Rider since. Syracuse has been without Buddy Boeheim in the last two games as he is quarantining due to close contact with a COVID positive individual. Buddy will be out for the Rutgers game as well. In his place, freshman Kadary Richmond has played very well. Fellow freshman Woody Newton has also shown some flashes off the bench. Syracuse will also be without center Bourama Sidibe, who is out four weeks due to a torn meniscus.

Rutgers coming in: Rutgers is also 3-0 on the season, with blowout wins over Sacred Heart, Farleigh Dickinson and Hofstra. The Scarlet Knights were one of the best stories in college basketball last season and would have been a tournament team if not for the event being cancelled due to the pandemic. They started the season ranked in the top 25, and expectations are sky high. Rutgers will be without its top player Geo Baker, who suffered an ankle sprain in their season opener.

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.
