Takeaways from my chats with the guys + Coach Autry's postgame:- When asked what they've learned about this team and can take into the Legends Classic, most of the guys on talked about the ability to fight through adversity and never back down.

- Elijah Moore says the work he puts in prepares him to play in big moments like OT. When asked if he's surprised himself at all with his passing or defense, he said no and pointed to the work he puts in once again.

- JJ Starling credited taking what the defense gave him... For his increased trips to the foul line later in the game.

- Donnie Freeman, when asked about him and JJ scoring the team's first 20ish points in the second half, said he wouldn't refer to it as "carrying" the offense and shouted out others who scored later on

- Eddie Lampkin, when asked how Syracuse can improve its defense in the paint, said it's all about talking and communication. When asked about the flurry of celebrations late in the game, the center says that's just him, and didn't point to any added emotion

- Adrian Autry really wanted to give his guys credit after the game for battling that one out. He acknowledged that there are tons of improvements to make. But also loved the fight from his guys. Made it clear that was the JJ Starling the team needs, and was very proud of the freshmen

Relieved he didnt like JJ’s deep contested 3 when he had 8 seconds and could have gone to the basket. Wasnt sure if thats what he told him to do

He has to know he has massive problems. There is no reason they should be playing poor defense other than coaching. There’s no excuse for what’s happening
