REACTION: Syracuse Basketball Earns GRITTY WIN Over Saint Joseph's | But was Syracuse GOOD ENOUGH?

Syracuse Orange secure a gritty win over Saint Joseph’s, but lacking style points raises questions about their tournament prospects. Can Syracuse’s lockdown defense compensate for persistent offensive struggles and abysmal free throw shooting? Jackson Holzer spotlights Tyler Betsey’s breakout performance and key moments from JJ Starling while dissecting what held the Orange back from a decisive blowout.

Analysis centers on Syracuse’s stagnant half-court offense, defensive strengths in both man-to-man and zone, and the impact of injuries like Donnie Freeman’s absence. Upcoming challenges loom against Hofstra, ranked far higher in the NET, with a crucial stretch ahead featuring must-win matchups against Mercyhurst, Northeastern, and Stonehill. With ACC play set to heat up, how can Adrian Autry’s squad turn things around and earn the style points needed for March? Get all the insights, stats, and fan reactions in this postgame breakdown.
