Syracuse basketball fans were treated to the highest of highs followed by an emphatic thud Tuesday night when the Orange dropped a nail-biter to North Carolina.

On this week's episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast" presented by Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux, Tommy Sladek and Samantha Croston welcome in the newest member of the team, former Orange superstar Lawrence Moten (00:00-01:25) and get his thoughts on what went against the Orange in a game they had all but wrapped up with under a minute remaining (01:26-17:32). The team also gets his perspective on the NIL era and transfer portal (17:33-20:57) before focusing on the young talent the team has in it's arsenal (20:58-23:19) and looking ahead to what they have to do to keep their hopes of a postseason berth in front of them (23:20).

Of course you can't have an episode without mentioning the SU women's team who have faced their own set of struggles lately (25:42) and speaking of struggling, the team looks to rebound in another edition of Producer Brendon's trivia (26:34).
