Brent and Chris review Syracuse basketball's loss to SMU and offer some final thoughts on that game, the season and review some postgame commentary from head coach Adrian Autry that resonated with the Syracuse fanbase. 

Brent and Chris then examine the players on the SU roster who could be candidates to stay at Syracuse and those who could jump into the transfer portal. 

They also got plenty of reaction from Syracuse Sports Insiders, asking what one word best describes SU basketball's 2024-25 season.

Brent Axe chats live following SU basketball's season-ending 73-53 loss to SMU in the ACC Tournament. The Orange finished 14-19, the most losses in a season for Syracuse since a 2-22 campaign in the 1961-62 season. 

SU trailed by just three points at halftime (31-28) but shot 8-of-30 in the 2nd half and were out-scored by SMU 42-25 after halftime, ending one of the most disappointing seasons in SU history.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 66-62 win over FSU in the ACC Tournament.

It was a "survive and advance " type game for SU who won despite shooting just 2-of-14 from 3-point range, 12-22 from the free throw line and letting a 16-point lead wilt down late in the game. 

Again. 

JJ Starling had 27 points for the Orange, 19 of which came in the second half.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 84-70 win over Virginia at the JMA Dome.

SU put together one of its best defensive efforts in recent memory, smothering Virginia's shooters to force the Cavaliers into a 3-of-15 shooting night from 3-point range. 

Eddie Lampkin was terrific in the paint once again with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jyare Davis and Lucas Taylor also scored 15 points each for the Orange.

So now the question is how much of this can Syracuse carry forward into the ACC Tournament and are the Orange capable of stringing together a run in Charlotte? 

Brent got plenty of feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on that question and the win over Virginia.

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.

Brent Axe chats live following SMU's 77-75 win over Syracuse on Tuesday night.

The Orange found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again as it let another double-digit lead evaporate into a loss. SMU scored on 15 of its last 16 possessions and dominated in the paint in the 2nd half (28-10) to squeeze out the two-point win over SU despite a 13-of-27 performance at the free throw line. 

Axe discussed how the 2024-25 season could end up without a signature moment for SU (a win Tuesday would be about as close as they have come to it) and the gargantuan task ahead to put a 12-18 (6-13) team back into the NCAA Tournament conversation. 

Brent also got plenty of feedback from frustrated Syracuse Sports Insiders on the Orange's loss to SMU.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 74-60 win over NC State.

It was a win for the Orange in which it led from start-to-finish and now it looks like SU will avoid having the Scarlet Letter of one of 3 teams that don't qualify for the ACC Tournament. 

 Axe breaks down how JJ Starling came alive in scoring 15 of his 17 points in the 2nd half, how SU was able to dominate the paint and how sometimes you just have to take what a bad team gives you. 

Axe also discusses the highly-inflated number Syracuse reported for attendance and how SU fans, while happy to get a win, are more interested in what awaits in rebuilding the roster in the transfer portal. 

We also got some amazing feedback from our Syracuse Sports Insiders!
