Will Syracuse men's basketball lean as heavily on 3-pointers this year? (DO; Grossman)

To crack the code of Syracuse’s offense last season, look no further than the record book. The Orange obliterated its own 3-point shooting records, attempting 110 more 3s than ever before and making 55 more than the previous record.

There were no secrets about it: SU was going to live and die by the 3, and it was evident from the first exhibition when Syracuse hoisted 32 shots behind the arc against Le Moyne.

But gone is Trevor Cooney. Gone is Michael Gbinije and Malachi Richardson. Gone are not only the team’s leading scorers from a year ago, but the most profuse 3-point shooters as well. Incoming is a new cast of players that appear to be more versatile inside the arc than the single-minded rotation dispatched last year.

Fifth-year transfers John Gillon and Andrew White are proficient from 3, but the Orange’s depth this year will likely prevent either from matching the volume of shots taken from behind the arc last year. It’s unknown what Paschal Chukwu can contribute offensively, but at 7 feet, 2 inches, he should have a size advantage over just about anyone down low. Dajuan Coleman has a full year under him after being sidelined with injuries, and Tyler Lydon is up about 15 pounds from last year, giving him a more powerful presence in the paint, if nothing else.

How will 2 true point guards benefit Syracuse men's basketball? (DO; Schneidman)

Frank Howard or John Gillon will give Syracuse something it didn’t have last season in its starting lineup, a true point guard. This year the Orange has two of them and won’t have to endure the growing pains of a 6-foot-7 wing (Michael Gbinije) adjusting to bringing the ball up the floor while dealing with smaller defenders.

Howard will likely start — Jim Boeheim listed him as one of four in Tyler Lydon’s “supporting cast” — but at ACC Media Day the SU head coach said Gillon will remind fans of former Orange point guard Jonny Flynn, who was taken sixth overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.

“John’s a really good player,” Boeheim said. “He can push the ball up the court. He can get in the lane. He’s quick, he’s physical, he’s strong.”

And with Howard’s vast improvements, both shooting-wise and physically, SU should have a refreshing group of point guards that can distribute and score this season.

In the offseason, Howard added 15 pounds of mostly muscle and fine-tuned his jump shot. Last year, Boeheim didn’t always trust Howard’s shot, one time telling the freshman that if he took another 10-foot floater he’d be removed from the game.

“Frank and what he’s done … his work in the weight room, shooting the ball,” Boeheim said. “He’s worked really hard.”

Jon Nyatawa's preseason AP Top 25 men's basketball ballot (omaha.com; Nyatawa)

The Associated Press college basketball preseason poll was released Monday. World-Herald reporter Jon Nyatawa is one of the voters. Below is a team-by-team breakdown of the squads ranked in his first ballot.

1. Duke: Experienced guys like Grayson Allen and Amile Jefferson help form a strong core. Then add in some one-and-done candidates: Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden (Giles is hurt to start the year and Tatum sprained a foot in a recent workout). Still, this team is loaded. Dealing with and living up to the hype may be Duke's biggest obstacle.

2. Villanova: The reigning national champions lost guard Ryan Arcidiacono and big man Daniel Ochefu. But Jalen Brunson seems poised to take over the reigns at point guard. And even though five-star Omari Spellman can't play this year, the Wildcats should have a couple reliable options inside between veteran Darryl Reynolds and transfer Eric Paschall. Plus, there's Josh Hart. The Wildcats will be fine.
...
...
17. Syracuse: The Orange might play some man-to-man defense this year? That's what Jim Boeheim claims. Believe it when you see it. A team full of length and athleticism fits well within Syracuse's iconic zone defensive style. On the other end of the floor, it'll be the Tyler Lydon show more often than not. Grad transfer Andrew White left Nebraska this summer, and he'll help stretch the floor.

Pitt Men's Basketball Season Preview: A New Era - The Pitt News (pittnews.com; Sostek)

If Kevin Stallings was still in the Southeastern Conference, his roster — featuring an arsenal of returning talent and multiple all-conference performers — would rank among the best, a definite contender to make the title game in the conference tournament.

But Stallings, the new head coach of the men’s basketball team who spent the past 17 seasons as Vanderbilt’s head coach, is in the ACC — perhaps the most competitive conference in the country this year. Preseason polls project his Pitt men’s basketball team to finish in the bottom tier of the conference despite returning six out of the top seven scorers from last year’s NCAA Tournament team.

And without longtime head coach Jamie Dixon at the helm, the identity of the program under Stallings is currently a mystery.

What is obvious is that Pitt will go as far as its top two seniors — guard and forward Jamel Artis and power forward Michael Young — will take the team. The pair have led the Panthers in scoring each of the past two seasons in a trend that will almost certainly continue into 2016-2017.

Artis’ role on the team is especially intriguing.

The senior — who has only played forward during his three-year career at Pitt — says he will play point guard to start the season. The move would give the Panthers a projected starting lineup of five players all standing 6-foot-6 or taller, which could help them overcome a lack of size in the frontcourt by creating mismatches at the guard position.

Young, the team’s best player, is a bona fide force on offense. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward is incredibly difficult to defend in the post and boasts a reliable mid-range jumper. With a potential increase in tempo, it isn’t out of the question to expect 20 points per game from the Duquesne native.

Matt Farrell new point man for Notre Dame hoops (ndinsider.com; Nole)

A moment of relative significance on an otherwise average November evening awaits Notre Dame junior guard Matt Farrell.

A little before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Farrell’s name will bounce out over the Purcell Pavilion public-address system when introduced as one of the five starters for the exhibition opener against Division II Mercy (N.Y.) College. With former guard Demetrius Jackson off to the NBA a year early, it’s Farrell’s turn to take the basketball and run an Irish team coming off a school record 56 wins the last two years.

It’s a spot the 6-foot-1, 178-pound Farrell always believed he could get to, although he wasn’t sure eight short months ago that it would happen here.

But careers that seemingly look headed toward a dead end have funny ways of working out. Farrell may prove that better than anybody who’s passed through the Irish program during coach Mike Brey’s 17 seasons. He’s gone from a guy ticketed to transfer to THE guy expected to direct what is annually one of the country's most efficient offenses.

How does that feel?

“It’s definitely different,” Farrell said with a smile last month during media day. “I’m more comfortable out there knowing I’m not out there with Demetrius now. I’m out there running the team.

Happy Halloween: Remembering Earl Lloyd, First Black Player in the NBA (hoopshabit.com; Luthor)

Earl Lloyd first stepped onto the court decades ago, but he paved the way forward for generations of players to enter the NBA.
It’s that time of year when pumpkins are being carved and kids are roaming the streets in packs of ghouls and witches. Candy is handed out, and people get into the festivities of the Fall season. Plus, the NBA has a pretty fun lineup of games set up for its fans.

But did you know that it was 66 years ago, on Halloween, when Earl Francis Lloyd became the first African American to play in an NBA game?

That might be a little strange to think about. In the modern NBA, teams are heavily staffed by black Americans. Guys like LeBron James were grown in the heart of the U.S. Others, like Hakeem Olajuwon were born in Nigeria before bringing their talents to the NBA.

That all became possible because of Earl Lloyd. Lloyd first entered the league on Oct. 31, 1950, as a member of the Washington Capitols. His first time on the court was against the Rochester Royals. It was a game that happened so long ago, neither team exists anymore.

Lloyd was one of the first three black players in the NBA, all who entered the league during the same year. He was the first to actually play due to the league’s scheduling. Unfortunately, the Capitols went bankrupt, and the team was folded by New Year’s.

Lloyd then went on to play for the Syracuse Nationals, yet another team that is no longer in the NBA.

Look at these people out & about in their Halloween costumes (photos) (PS; photo gallery; Walts)

The history of Halloween and Halloween costumes is a long one. Here are some photos of people in Central New York that were off to work and play in their Halloween costumes.

 
Not sure if anyone else saw the play, but it seems to me that he hobbled and pushed himself while on the ground to get out of the way of the rest of the play. Might have been so he didn't get trampled on, but it looks like he did it to not trip up the rest that were standing. Pretty classy move imo.
And it followed a pretty good defensive play by him.
