Though freshmen guard Judah Mintz shot just 3 for 9, he also finished with eight assists and turned the ball over just once.

While the full-court press will garner the attention, it was only partially responsible for the Orange comeback.

Syracuse leaned on a couple unusual sources to come back for a 78-73 home win over Notre Dame on Saturday night.

Syracuse appeared on the ropes after a JJ Starling layup with 6:20 left gave Notre Dame a 68-62 lead, but the Orange rallied.

When Syracuse reserve forward Maliq Brown has been given extended minutes by Jim Boeheim, he’s made the most of them.

Syracuse started the season 13th in the ACC Power Rankings, but has climbed to eighth as the teams head into conference play.

It hardly needs mentioning that the Orange should continue to focus on getting the ball to Jesse Edwards in pretty much every game.

Syracuse got a lay-up from Judah Mintz in the final 15 seconds to pull out a 62-61 victory at Notre Dame in the first ACC game for the Orange.
