|
| | | PITTSBURGH: Last season: 8-24, winless in Atlantic Coast Conference play (0-18).
Nickname: Panthers.
Coach: Jeff Capel.
Conference: ACC.
Who's gone: Head coach Kevin Stallings, forward Ryan Luther, guard Marcus Carr (transfer to Minnesota), guard Parker Stewart (transfer to Tennessee-Martin), guard Jonathan Milligan.
Who's back: Swingman Jared Wilson-Frame was the best player on a bad team last season, averaging 13.0 points and 3.5 rebounds. He dropped 25 pounds from his 6-foot-5 frame which should make it easier for him to get up the floor for Capel, who wants the Panthers to run. Guard Shamiel Stevenson averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds and has an intriguing all-around game. Forwards Kene Chukwuka and Terrell Brown are the best of the returning bigs.
Who's new: Guard Malik Ellison watched last season from the bench while sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer rules after coming over from St. John's. He averaged 7.4 points in two seasons for the Red Storm. Guard Sidy N'Dir comes over as a graduate transfer from New Mexico State, where he was a contributor on a team that reached the NCAA Tournament each of the last two years. The Panthers also welcome freshmen guards Xavier Johnson, Trey McGowens and Au'Diese Toney and Curtis Aiken Jr.
The Skinny: There is nowhere to go but up for the Panthers, who went into a tailspin following longtime coach Jamie Dixon's surprise departure in the spring of 2016. Capel's arrival brings a needed jolt of energy, though it will take time for that energy to translate into a return to serious contention in the nation's toughest confernce.
Expectations: None, at least according to Las Vegas. Oddsmakers have the Panthers at 5,000-1 to win the NCAA championship ... the same as cross-town rival Duquesne, which hasn't made the NCAA Tournament in 1977. More realistic, winning a handful of games in the ACC. | | SYRACUSE: Last season: 23-14, lost in the Sweet 16 of NCAA Tournament
Nickname: Orange
Coach: Jim Boeheim, 43rd season
Conference: Atlantic Coast
Who's gone: F Matthew Moyer transferred after his redshirt freshman year and graduate transfer G Geno Thorpe left the team after six games.
Who's back: G Tyus Battle, the team's leading scorer last season (19.2), decided to return for his junior year after testing his NBA chances. He'll be joined by sophomore F Oshae Brissett, who's coming off an impressive freshman season (14.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 38 minutes), senior G Frank Howard (14.4 points, 4.7 assists), sophomore F Marek Dolezaj (5.8 points, 4.8 rebounds), and C Paschal Chukwu (5.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 91 blocks). Also returning are: G Howard Washington, who's recovering from a torn ACL; F Bourama Sidibe, who had offseason surgery for tendinitis; and G/F Elijah Hughes, who had to sit last year after transferring from East Carolina.
Who's new: Boeheim welcomes a class that includes G Jalen Carey, F Robert Braswell, and Boeheim's youngest son, Buddy, a 6-foot-5 point guard who will wear No. 35, the same number his dad wore when he played for the Orange in the 1960s.
The Skinny: Last year Syracuse was picked in the preseason to finish 10th and pretty much lived up to the low expectations as injuries plagued a team that finished 8-10 in the ACC. But unlike the year before when Syracuse was the top seed in the NIT, meaning the Orange were the last team out of the NCAA Tournament, they managed to squeak in last March as the last team in and won three games to reach the Sweet 16, stunning Arizona State, TCU and Michigan State in low-scoring games before losing to Duke by just 4 points. This year's team is ranked 16th in the preseason poll, has the personnel to vie for a top spot in the ACC and, for a change, easily secure an NCAA Tournament bid.
Expectations: Las Vegas oddsmakers have Syracuse a long shot to win the NCAA Tournament, on par with Purdue and well behind ACC rival Duke and Kentucky, the top two favorites.
