Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 75-63 win over Bucknell as SU gets ready to begin its full-time ACC slate.

Brent discussed how SU continued to struggle from the 3-point line, shooting 1-of-11 distance in the 2nd half. 

Encouraging signs from the win included Eddie Lampkin (18 pts, 11 rebs) and Donnie Freeman (15 pts, 11 rebs) both scoring double-doubles and SU's switch to using more zone press seemed to light a fuse on the defensive end. 

Brent also wonders how Chris Bell can kick things into gear and which of the transfers will have the most success in ACC play. 

Brent also got amazing feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on the win and where Syracuse basketball stands entering league play.
