3 things to watch vs. St. Rose: No. 1 -- Outside shooting
Syracuse shot 18% from 3-point range in its first exhibition game, 3-of-16 from beyond the arc. The Orange also missed a lot of open jump shots. Brandon Triche was 2-of-11, C.J. Fair 2-of-6 and Kris Joseph 3-of-7 from the field, so shooting is an area Syracuse will look to improve upon against St. Rose. Orange RapidReports
3 things to watch vs. St. Rose: No. 2 -- Defense
Syracuse played man defense instead of the 2-3 zone against Cal State L.A. It’s not unusual for Jim Boeheim to play man in exhibition games, but with the opener Saturday against Fordham, Syracuse will likely go back to the 2-3. St. Rose is a guard-oriented team, so the Orange’s zone will get a good test. Orange RapidReports
3 things to watch vs. St. Rose: No. 3 -- Minutes
In Syracuse’s first game nine players saw at least 15 minutes. Expect Jim Boeheim to be a little stingier delving out minutes against St. Rose. Keep an eye on the PF position in particular. Against Cal State L.A., Rakeem Christmas started and played 19 minutes, and C.J. Fair came off the bench and played 18 minutes. Orange RapidReports
