15. Syracuse Orange

Few teams are benefiting as much from transfers as the Orange are. Andrew White (Nebraska) and John Gillon (Colorado State) are two of their top scorers so far. Their first big challenge comes next week when they travel to Madison to face off with top 25 Wisconsin.

As I said, White and Gillon are two of team’s top scoring options as graduate transfers. The duo is combining for almost 30 points an evening so far. Tyler Roberson is the third double-figure scorer at 12.0 points. He is also tied for third in rebounds with 4.7.

Stretch forward Tyler Lydon is putting up 8.3 points, 6.3 boards and 2.3 blocks per game. This Syracuse squad looks aggressive and is ready for a run at the ACC crown.
