Torrence came to Syracuse as a transfer from Marquette in the offseason with the projected role as the primary backup in the backcourt. It took him a while to get consistent playing time as he adapted to the Orange's style of play on both ends, but has started to provide a spark over the last several games.

Off the bench, Torrence provides steady ball handling and an upgrade defensively. The use of the three guard lineup, with Torrence at the point, Joe Girard at shooting guard and Buddy Boeheim dropping to forward, has been really good for Syracuse in the last few games.

Over the last four games, Torrence has played at least 12 minutes in each. He has averaged 4.3 points, 3.3 assists and 0.8 turnovers per game while shooting 53.3% from the floor.

Syracuse is looking to snap a two game losing streak when it faces Wake Forest Saturday night in the Carrier Dome.

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.
