Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 86-66 loss to Duke on Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke was not hitting 3-pointers in the first half (0-9) but hit all 8 of its 3-point attempts in the second half to pull away from Syracuse. The Orange struggled from the 3-point line (4-16) and have to find an answer from beyond the arc. Is there one head coach Adrian Autry can turn to? Brent also discusses if Autry will have to consider a change in his starting lineup as Chris Bell, Justin Taylor and Naheem McLeod continue to struggle in that role and the Orange lineup of Judah Mintz, JJ Starling, Maliq Brown, Benny Williams and Quadir Copeland appears to be SU's best option at the moment, though Copeland struggled against Duke after earning the ACC player of the week award for his career-high performance against Pitt. Brent also reacted to opinions on the team from Syracuse Sports Insiders. Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!

Brent Axe and Mike Waters recap Syracuse basketball's 81-70 win over Cornell on Tuesday night at the JMA Dome. The Orange had to hold off a pesky Cornell team from springing an upset. They did it with 13 3-pointers, 28 points from Judah Mintz,, 19 from Chris Bell, an all-around great game from Justin Taylor and 12 rebounds from Maliq Brown. Even players who struggled for the most part, in this case Quadir Copeland and JJ Starling, made key plays to give SU the win. Axe and Waters also discuss Benny Williams not playing against Cornell and how that situation evolved throughout the game with Williams putting on his warm-ups, sitting on the bench during timeouts and distancing himself from team huddles.

Brent Axe and Emily Leiker breakdown Syracuse football's 31-22 loss to Georgia Tech. The Orange rallied from a 24-3 halftime deficit to make the game more competitive in the 2nd half. LeQuint Allen and Dan Villari combined for 205 yards rushing, but 12 penalties and some curious decision-making by Dino Babers hampered the Orange from getting over the hump to victory. Not to mention the lack of a viable quarterback to put on the field to throw the ball with Garrett Shrader limited and Carlos Del Rio-Wilson not available. Now SU must beat Wake Forest just to get over the finish line to bowl eligibility. Brent and Emily breakdown the game and react to your texts and voicemails. Become a Syracuse Sports Insider!
