Syracuse Orange
Syracuse looks like they could be back to their profitable ways, as Jim Boeheim’s team picked up a pair of underdog wins last week over Indiana and Florida State.
The family ties are huge at Syracuse, as Buddy and Jimmy Boeheim lead a talented Orange squad. Buddy scored 27 points in the win over Indiana, and the senior guard is averaging a nice, well-rounded 17.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg, and 3.6 apg.
Jimmy, a Cornell transfer, scored 26 against the Hoosiers, and he’s scoring 14.9 ppg, while grabbing 5.7 rpg.
Joe Girald III brings a steady presence to the point guard position. The 6’2 junior is second on the team in scoring (14.7) and he leads the team in assists (4.2)
Caleb Swider lines up in the front court with big man Jesse Edwards. Swider is averaging a career-best 12.2 ppg and 7.4 rpg, while Edwards posted a double-double against Florida State.
Georgetown Hoyas
Georgetown finalled added a quality non-conference to their resume this week with a win over in-state UMBC. The Hoyas have dropped games to San Diego State, St. Joe’s and South Carolina, and they’ll need to come out strong here.
Patrick Ewing’s team lost a lot of production from last year’s Big East tournament winning squad, but their slowly starting to come together.
Citadel transfer Kaiden Rice has been one of the best marksmen in college basketball for three seasons, and he’s coming off of a career-high 10 three pointers made against UMBC, scoring 34 points along the way. Rice leads the team with 14.5 ppg.
Freshman guard Aminu Mohammed posted his third double-double of the season last time out. He’s scored 20 points against a tough San Diego State team, and he’s second on the team in scoring (14.1), while leading the Hoyas with 8.1 rpg.
Dante Harris has looked well running the offense this year after playing 30 minutes per game as a freshman. The 6’0 guard is averaging a well-rounded 13.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg, and a team-leading 5.2 apg.
Freshman Ryan Mutombo, son of former Georgetown great Dikembe, had his best game yet, going for 15 points and 11 boards against the Retrievers.
