After a lackluster 2025‑26 campaign at the shooting guard spot, the Orange are banking on new talent and depth to turn the tide.

Duke’s schedule confirms a primary partnership with North Carolina and a rotating slot with Virginia, while Syracuse’s new head coach Gerry McNamara brings former Siena standouts Gavin Doty and Kiyan Anthony back to the Orange.

The departure of Donnie Freeman leaves a gap in Syracuse’s frontcourt, prompting coach Gerry McNamara to turn to emerging talent and transfers to rebuild depth at power forward.

St. John's and Syracuse are set to meet at Madison Square Garden this season, renewing a storied Big East rivalry and featuring notable transfers and player narratives.
