Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 101-64 loss to Duke on Monday night.
It was the worst conference loss for SU since it joined the ACC and in the three-year Adrian Autry era as head coach.
SU has now lost 11 straight games to Duke by an average of 20.7 points per game.
Axe didn't really spend a lot of time discussing this particular loss to Duke, but more of the big picture it represents and how far away from the top of the ACC is under Autry and what SU's incoming new administration will have to do to fix.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 79-78 win over SMU on Saturday afternoon.
Syracuse trailed SMU by 12 points but came back to clinch the win a Nate Kingz drive with 2.3 seconds remaining.
Axe dicsussed how SU made the comeback and credited Adrian Autry and the Orange for how they have played in the last week after hitting a low point at Virginia last week, a game in which Kiyan Anthony was benched.
It was a much different story for Anthony against SMU, as he scored 13 points and played a key part in the comeback win for the Orange.
Anthony said he had a heart-to-heart chat with Autry and deleted social media off his phone in the last week to refocus on the task at hand.

SU's losing streak to Maryland ends at 8 games, a streak that goes back to 2009.
The Orange played relentless defense against the Terrapins, sprung attacj Joey Spallina free for four goals and did just enough at the face-off X to come out on top.
Axe discusses the big adjustments Syracuse made to overcome Maryland and the path ahead for the Orange, who now go on the road for six straight games.

Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 107-100 double overtime win over California on Wednesday night at the JMA Dome.
What a wild night at the JMA Dome with the game going to double overtime and two power surges affecting the lighting at the Dome, with the second one taking out the scoreboards and ribbon lighting to create a darker atmosphere in the building.
Nate Kingz lit up the night with 27 points. JJ Starling added 21 points with William Kyle III putting home 15 points and 16 rebounds, Kyle played so hard he started cramping up in the second overtime.
Axe also discusses the news of the day with SU AD John Wildhack announcing his retirement and what that will mean for Adrian Autry's job status with SU likely to miss the NCAA Tournament again this season.

Brent Axe reacts to the news that Syracuse AD John Wildhack has announced is retirement in July.
Axe discusses Wildhack's legacy and what he will be remembered for most. But there's one lingering question that will determine Wildhack's legacy and it relates to if/when he makes a decision on Adrian Autry's future as Syracuse men's basketball coach and then whom Wildhack would hire in his place in the event of a change.
Axe also lays out what Wildhack's successor will be tasked with and what the athletic director position at Syracuse looks like in 2026 and beyond.

Brent Axe chats live following SU's 84-65 loss to No. 6 Louisville at the JMA Dome.
Syracuse dug itself too big of a hole against the Cardinals, falling behind 28-6 after the first quarter without scoring a field goal. The Orange did come back to get the game within five points, but Louisville precision offense (20 assists on 33 field goals)
Axe discussed that along with the vibe at Syracuse women's games at the dome and what it will take for more fans and more investors to lift SU women's basketball to a level it can beat the top teams in the ACC.

Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 72-59 loss to Virginia on Saturday afternoon.
The Orange have lost six of the last seven games and have plummeted to 13-11 (4-7 ACC). SU playing "Meaningful Games in March" is fading out of view quickly.
UVA was sharper on the offensive glass, exploited points off turnovers and hit 10 3's against the Orange, but the biggest storyline in the loss to UVA was that Kiyan Anthony was benched and did not play for the first time all season.
Axe also discusses how SU AD John Wildhack only has one decision left to make when it comes to Adrian Autry's job and that is the timing of when, not if, to announce he'll no longer be the head coach.

Brent Axe chats live following SU basketball's 87-77 loss to North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C.
If you want to look on the bright side, SU trailed by 32 points at one point of the game (72-40) and fought to trim the deficit down to six points before eventually losing by 10.
But, uh, they still trailed by 32 points. That tends to weight more heavily in the conversation.
Axe discussed with fans how the mirage of ball movement represented in SU's in over Notre Dame faded as the Orange had just 7 assists against the Tar Heels. SU is now 0-8 all-time in Chapel Hill.

Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 88-68 loss to NC State.
The Orange have hit the low point of Adrian Autry's tenure as head coach as it hit its first four-game losing streak under the Orange head coach.
Quadir Copeland, a guard Syracuse told to hit the road two years ago, dropped 19 points and 10 assists on the Orange in what turned into a blowout loss.
Axe discusses how some of the same old mistakes haunted Syracuse in loss including a lack of offensive cohesion and quality shots at the hoop. Now you can add in some defensive breakdowns to the mix as SU's zone got ripped apart by the Wolfpack.
Things have never been worse under Autry for the 12-9 (3-5) Orange and there are still 10 games to play in the regular season.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 85-76 loss to Miami at the JMA Dome.
The Orange have now lost three straight games, falling to 12-8 (3-4 in ACC).
All conversations about SU going forward will be swamped by the job status of Orange head coach Adrian Autry. There were "Fire Autry!" chants at the Dome on Saturday and several boos from the crowd.
You'll hear from SU players Naithan George, Kiyan Anthony and Donnie Freeman on that.
As for the game, Miami took a 9-0 lead and didn't looked back. The Hurricanes never trailed in the game, overpowering SU on the boards 37-21 and slicing through whatever defense the Orange presented, zone or man-to-man.

Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 76-74 loss to Virginia Tech on Wednesday night.
Syracuse's season and Adrian Autry's seat have hit a boiling point after two bad losses for the Orange that dropped them to 12-7 (3-3).
Fans are fed up. There were audible boos and chants to fire the coach in a sparsely-attended JMA Dome on Wednesday night. Autry was visibly frustrated in his press conference, dropping an F bomb just 30 seconds in. Players were despondent in the locker room.
Axe discusses how the conversation going forward will be primarily about Autry's job (as if it hasn't been already) and every loss going forward will only compound that situation.
Axe played two clips from Autry in asking why SU has lost the second-half so often this season and what his message to a frustrated fan base is about how he will lead Syracuse forward.

Brent Axe, Javon Edmonds and Chris Carlson evaluate Syracuse football's transfer portal haul on a live episode of Syracuse Sports.
Where did Syracuse improve the roster in the portal and where did Fran Brown fall short in filling in some of SU's holes?
Brent, Chris and Javon discuss that and examine SU's new quarterbacks and if any can push to be the starting quarterback for the Orange with Steve Angeli still recovering from a torn achilles.

Brent Axe chats live following a brutal 81-73 loss for Syracuse basketball in overtime at Boston College.
SU gave this one away. Literally. 18 turnovers were killer for SU, which led to 22 BC points. Donnie Freeman and Naithan George both had 7 turnovers in the game.
Axe discusses what went wrong for SU at BC, how trust in Adrian Autry as an in-game tactician has all but faded out, how SU has to get its point guard scenario figured out and what this loss does to SU's NCAA Tournament resume.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 94-85 win over Florida State.
Donnie Freeman was the star again for the Orange in dropping 25 points on the Seminoles, the third straight game he has scored 20 or more points for SU.
While Freeman was SU's North Star, he had plenty of help as Tyler Betsey scored 18 points off the bench, Naithan George dished out 13 assists and JJ Starling scored 15 points against FSU to give Syracuse its 6th win in the last 7 games.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 83-72 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon.
It was SU's 5th win in 6 games and feature a dunk from William Kyle III that left everyone in stunned silence. What a play!
Axe also discussed Donnie Freeman's 3rd straight solid performance since returning from injury, a great bounce back game from JJ Starling, how SU's 3-point shooting needs to improve beyond how it did against the Panthers and how the Orange needs to avoid its "witching hour" in the second half going forward.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 82-72 win over Georgia Tech.
It was a tale of two halves for Syracuse. The Orange offense was humming in the first half. SU scored a season-high 44 points before halftime. The ball and the team were moving and Donnie Freeman showed his importance to the Orange on the way to a game-high 27 points.
SU was up by 20 points at one point of the game, but saw that lead melt down in the 2nd half to just five with 11 2nd-half turnovers and consistent defensive miscues.
Wins are hard to get on the road in the ACC but SU made it just a little too hard on themselves in this one.
Axe discussed that, Naithan George's solid effort in a return to Atlanta and the importance of avoiding stepping in a pothole for the next four games before the schedule ramps up later in the month for SU.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 64-61 loss to Clemson at the JMA Dome on New Year's Eve.
SU's furious rally in the 2nd half came up just short as Donnie Freeman's 3-pointer in the closing seconds came up short.
Freeman provided a major spark for the Orange in scoring 18 second-half points in his return to the lineup but SU's turnovers and poor interior defense were costly against the Tigers.
As discussed with Syracuse Sports Insiders on the live podcast, SU fans continue to have big questions about what offense SU coach Adrian Autry is trying to run and his ability as an X's and O's tactician.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 77-48 win over Stonehill to conclude non-conference play at the JMA Dome.
Are the Orange ready for ACC play? Brent Axe goes over his naughty and nice list for Syracuse basketball to see where they are ready for the challenge of league play (more talent, Donnie Freeman's return, solid backcourt play) vs. the weaknesses (free throw shooting, 3-point shooting, Adrian Autry's inconsistent coaching patterns) that could hold the Orange back.

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 91-83 win over Northeastern.
Free Throws Mattered! SU was 34-of-48 from the charity stripe and anytime SU shoots 70% from the free throw line, you'll take it.
With the Yin comes the Yang and SU's defense was lacking against 4-6 Northeastern, allowing 52 points in the second half and getting outscored in the paint by the Huskies.
Brent Axe discusses why the Orange are lagging in these buy games and what the return of Donnie Freeman will do to fix that (if it does).

Brent Axe reacts live to Syracuse basketball's 76-62 win over Mercyhurst at the JMA Dome on Wednesday night.
Axe discusses how SU head coach Adrian Autry claimed at his postgame press conference that "there's nothing wrong with the offense" even though SU fans have struggled to grasp what his offensive philosophy is. The numbers don't bear out his claims either as SU ranks 118th in KenPom in offensive efficiency, 305th nationally in 3-point shooting and 365th in free-throw shooting.
Axe also discussed the "autopilot" nature of the win and the lack of energy in the dome before the smallest crowd of the year and how SU may just be trying to get through its non-conference slate before things ramp up with the start of ACC play on New Year's Eve against Clemson.
Axe also reacts to soundbites from Adrian Autry, William Kyle, Naithan George, JJ Starling and more plus checks in with Syracuse Sports Insiders to get their take on the loss.
