Brandon Triche was at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan on Wednesday for Big East Media Day. We spoke with Brandon in an exclusive interview. Here’s what he had to say.
Syracuse was picked to finish in second place in the Big East Preseason Coaches poll, in its final season in the Big East. Brandon Triche was named to the All Big East Second Team, while CJ Fair was named an Honorable Mention.
Lost in the shuffle last season (and arguably each of the last three seasons) was Brandon Triche. Good at a lot of things, not great at any one thing, Triche’s game was quietly solid…his mouth even quieter.
Consensus among experts and analysts seems to be that the 2012-2013 Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team will has the potential to be great. But this year’s squad will be vastly different from last year’s team, which won 34 games and made the Elite 8.
Cuse Nation is eagerly awaiting Decision 2012 with Nerlens Noel, which will come on April 11. But has anybody thought about what happens if he doesn’t put on the Orange hat?
Brandon Triche had a team-high 18 points and added four rebounds and four assists as Syracuse got its 30th win of the season with a 58-49 win over Louisville.
