KEY GAME INFORMATION
CONNECTICUT: Last Season: 25-11, lost in second round of NCAA Tournament
Nickname: Huskies
Coach: Kevin Ollie
Conference: American Athletic
Who's gone: G Daniel Hamilton, G Sterling Gibbs, G Omar Calhoun, F Shonn Miller, F Phillip Nolan
Who's back: G Rodney Purvis, who averaged 12.8 points and two assists as a junior; G Jalen Adams, whose 68-foot shot at the third-overtime buzzer against Cincinnati during the AAC tournament was a signature moment for the Huskies; F Kentan Facey, who averaged 3.1 point and 3.6 rebounds last season; C Amida Brimah, who is third all-time at UConn with 280 blocked shots; C Steven Enoch, a sophomore who spent his summer with the Armenian national U-20 team.
Who's new: F Terry Larrier, a transfer from VCU where he averaged 6.6 points and 3.0 rebounds as a freshman in 2014-15; Freshman G Alterique Gilbert, a McDonald's All-American and the
Conference's pre-season freshman of the year from Richmond, Virginia; Freshman G Christian Vital, a combination guard from New York City and former high school teammate of Enoch; Freshman F Vance Jackson, from Los Angeles, who is known for having a good long-range shot; Freshman F Mamadou Diarra, a tenacious rebounder from New York City; Freshman forward Juwan Durham, who missed his senior season at Tampa Prep in Florida with a left knee injury after averaging 22.9 points and 10.2 rebounds as a junior.
The Skinny: The Huskies return a strong core in Purvis, Brimah, Facey and Adams, and brought in one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. With Larrier now eligible after transferring from VCU, the Huskies should again challenge for the American Athletic
Conference title.
SYRACUSE: Last season: 23-14, lost in the NCAA Tournament semifinals to North Carolina.
Nickname: Orange.
Coach: Jim Boeheim.
Conference: Atlantic Coast.
Who's gone: G Michael Gbinije, G Malachi Richardson, G Trevor Cooney.
Who's back: C Dajuan Coleman. Returned last season after missing the better part of two years with knee problems and played in every game, becoming a steady cog in the middle (4.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 17.5 minutes); F Tyler Roberson. Team's most accomplished rebounder (8.5), the senior will be looking to boost his scoring (8.8) and put an exclamation mark on a solid career; F Tyler Lydon. Became a real problem for opposing teams as a freshman with his shooting ability from beyond the arc (49 makes and 40.5 percent) and shot-blocking ability inside (team-best 67); G Frank Howard. Failed to start any games as a freshman and averaged 1.8 assists and 1.6 points off the bench.
Who's new: F Matthew Moyer. The 6-foot-8, 220-pound freshman is a perfect fit for the Orange's trademark 2-3 zone; G Andrew White III. The 6-7 Nebraska transfer by way of Kansas ranked second in scoring (16.6) and first in rebounding (5.9) as a senior for the Cornhuskers; G John Gillon. Transfer from Colorado State ranked third on the team in scoring (13.2) and tops in assists (3.8). F Taurean Thompson. Another long wingspan in the Orange defensive arsenal who at 6-10 could get time as a backup at center; G Tyus Battle. At 6-5 he's a perfect fit for the top of the zone.
The Skinny: Last season, the Orange pulled off a shocking Final Four run, the second in four years, after a subpar regular season that included a nine-game suspension for Boeheim as part of sanctions levied by the NCAA. This team looks much stronger on paper. If Lydon progresses as expected, Roberson becomes more of a scoring force inside, and the newcomers can replace the shooting lost by the departures of Gbinije, Cooney and Richardson, Syracuse will be a force to be reckoned with again.
PREVIEW
Syracuse-UConn matchup rekindles memories of Big East days
 

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- As members of the Big East Conference, the Syracuse Orange and Connecticut Huskies played some of the most memorable games in college basketball history at Madison Square Garden.

But as they return to the Garden for a 7 p.m. game Monday, the 22nd-ranked Orange and Huskies will be more concerned about finding their identity than making history.

Syracuse, now in the Atlantic Coast Conference, entered this season with six new players among its top nine. After a 4-0 start against low- and mid-major teams, the Orange lost by a combined 31 points to 20th-ranked South Carolina at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and 17th-ranked Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.

This past Saturday, Syracuse nearly blew a 24-point second-half lead against North Florida at home before hanging on for a 77-71 win.

Other than seniors Rodney Purvis and Amida Brimah, UConn is relying on freshmen and sophomores who have been mostly inconsistent.

The Huskies, now in the American Athletic Conference, opened this season with losses to Wagner and Northeastern -- the first time since 1968-69 that UConn lost its first two games of the year.

The Huskies (3-4) rebounded with wins over Loyola Marymount and Chaminade in the Maui Invitational and Boston University, but they also lost to Oklahoma State and 23rd-ranked Oregon in Maui.

UConn is down to eight scholarship players because of season-ending injuries to freshman point guard Alterique Gilbert (shoulder), freshman forward Mamadou Diarra (knee) and sophomore swingman Terry Larrier (knee). Larrier and Gilbert had combined to average nearly 24 points per game.

Sophomore point guard Jalen Adams leads the Huskies in scoring (18.8 points per game) and assists (5.4 per game), and Purvis is averaging 11.3 points per game.

"We just have to try and get better," coach Kevin Ollie said after the Huskies held on to defeat Boston University 51-49 this past Wednesday. "We've got eight guys and we're going to continue playing with those guys. We're not making any excuses. But I was very happy with the win and we're finding ways to win."

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim shook up his starting lineup against North Florida by sitting senior forward Tyler Roberson (one point, eight rebounds against South Carolina and Wisconsin), inserting freshman shooting guard Tyus Battle, moving fifth-year transfer Andrew White from shooting guard to small forward, and shifting sophomore Tyler Lydon from small forward to power forward.

The results were mixed, as White and Battle combined for 45 points on 15-of-22 shooting from the field, but the Orange bench -- Roberson, fifth-year transfer John Gillon and freshman Taurean Thompson -- combined for one point, five rebounds and one assist in a combined 30 minutes.

"You have to be able to score. It wasn't even a decision (to bench Roberson); you can't play 34 minutes and score a point and keep your job," Boeheim said. "You just can't do that unless you're doing something unbelievable and that wasn't the case."

Roberson averaged 8.5 rebounds per game last season but is down to 5.4 per game this season. With its smaller starting lineup, Syracuse will be hard-pressed to win the rebounding battle as North Florida and its three-guard lineup outrebounded the Orange 41-33.

With each team's respective flaws, it's unlikely the Orange and Huskies will be able to duplicate Big East Tournament Madison Square Garden classics such as Syracuse's 127-117 victory in six overtimes in 2009 or UConn's 76-71 overtime win in 2010 when Kemba Walker had 33 points and 12 rebounds.

But it's still Connecticut-Syracuse at the Garden, and that's enough for those who remember they heyday of the Big East.

"I've been watching that rivalry ever since I've been playing basketball," said Orange center DaJuan Coleman, who grew up in Syracuse. "It's going to be a fun game and we've got to bring our 'A' game because I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big game for them."
