Brent Axe and Chris Carlson discuss the news that Adrian Autry will return for a third season as Syracuse basketball head coach on a live Thursday edition of Syracuse Sports. 

While not a surprise that Autry is back for a third year, Brent and Chris discussed the immense pressure that will be on him to prove he's the guy for Syracuse basketball. The Orange will have to make a serious impact in the transfer portal and get the most of out freshman Kiyan Anthony and Sadiq White. 

Does Syracuse have the resources in place to make Autry a better coach in a college sports environment where most Power 4 schools are spending more money, adding staff and finding third-party NIL sources? 

In order to make the NCAA Tournament, SU will have to win 10-12 more games, improve markedly on defense and Autry will have to turn around a narrative that SU can't close the deal on tight games. 

Brent and Chris also got plenty of feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the decision to press forward with Autry in charge.
