In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Jesse Edwards has been one of the best players for Syracuse basketball all season and has been the most productive center for the Orange in a number of years. Edwards turned in another fantastic performance on Saturday, helping Syracuse blow out Louisville 92-69 in the Carrier Dome. Edwards finished with 19 points on 9-11 shooting, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in just 26 minutes. You can watch highlights of Edwards' performance in the video above. 

All season, Edwards had struggled with foul trouble. He is showing signs of improvement in that area as he has not fouled out in five straight games. Against Louisville, he only picked up one foul, which happened at the 10:30 mark of the second half. 

Edwards is second in the ACC and 15th nationally in blocked shots per game (2.9). He is also shooting 70% from the floor while averaging over 12 points and nearly seven rebounds per game in 29 minutes. During Syracuse's three game winning streak, he is averaging nearly 17 points per game while shooting 78.5%. He is one of the top candidates for ACC's Most Improved Player. 

Next up for Edwards and the Orange is a road game at Boston College on Tuesday, February 8th.

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.
