Syracuse moved up two spots to No. 7 in the AP Top 25 released on Monday afternoon.

The Blue Devils had an up-and-down 13-16 season last season, but ended up with a winning record (10-8) in the Northeast Conference.

Syracuse got back to their winning ways on Saturday evening, but in a manner that could be very generously described as ugly.

No. 9 Syracuse beat Alcorn State, 57-36, on Saturday night in the final game of the Gotham Classic.

SU had nearly as many turnovers (15) as they did field goals (21), and for the second straight game, free throws were a huge problem.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim wasn’t happy with his team’s rebounding effort in the Orange’s first loss of the season to Temple last Saturday.

My job is just to come in and be a spark off the bench, just come in and play good defense.

Fair was all over the floor and had his midrange game working in his best game of the season with 25 points and 7 rebounds.

Syracuse dropped six spots in the AP poll from No. 3 to No. 9 in the latest AP poll released Monday afternoon.

After a 10-0 start, Syracuse has finally lost. But it’s not the end of the world.
