Syracuse Orange

Syracuse basketball jumped on Chaminade early and cruised the rest of the way for a 105-56 victory in its last game of the Maui Invitational. With the win, the Orange improved to 4-2 on the season and 1-2 at the event. Next up for SU is a matchup with LSU in the JMA Wireless Dome as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. That game tips at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 28th. 

Through the first two games, Syracuse really struggled offensively scoring 113 total points. The Orange nearly hit that mark in this game. Chris Bell got Syracuse rolling with seven quick points in the first few minutes of the game. Judah Mintz, JJ Starling and Naheem McLeod would pace the Orange attack the rest of the half to take a 52-18 lead into intermission. 

While Chaminade would start the second half on a 6-0 run, Syracuse would control things the rest of the way. Justin Taylor finally got his shot to fall, scoring 11 quick points early in the second half, while Kyle Cuffe and Bell would also add some outside shots. 

The Orange shot 56% from the floor overall and 40% from three point range while holding Chaminade to under 30% and 23%, respectively. Syracuse also dominated the glass 55-30. 

Chris Bell led all scorers with 18 points including four made three pointers. McLeod (13), Taylor (14), JJ Starling (12), Maliq Brown (12), Cuffe (13) and Quadir Copeland (10) all hit double digits in scoring as well.

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.
