In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse center Jesse Edwards and Cole Swider were two of the standout performers for the Orange in an 89-82 win at NC State Wednesday night. You can watch highlights of their performances in the video above. 

Edwards was a matchup nightmare for NC State all night. He finished with 19 points on 8-9 shooting and got to the foul line six more times. Edwards also added six rebounds, two assists and three blocks. Edwards got into foul trouble in the first half, picking up two fouls and being forced to sit for a stretch. In the second half, however, he stayed out of that foul trouble and the Orange was rewarded with the impact he provided on both ends of the floor. 

Swider also had 19 points, and made seven of his nine field goal attempts including a perfect 4-4 from beyond the arc. Swider added a game high eight rebounds and one block. Not only was Swider efficient offensively, but he made big shots. Three times in the first 7:12 of the game when NC State had trimmed the lead to one or two points, he hit a big shot to give Syracuse some breathing room. Despite his early season struggles, Swider is up to 37% from three point range and has made his last six shots from distance.

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.
