Overview
- Boeheim’s Army opened the best-of-three first round with an 82-52 win over Hall In, a 30-point victory that put the alumni team one win from advancing.
- Game 2 is scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. ET at the Oncenter in Syracuse and will air on FS1 with streaming available on DIRECTV and fuboTV.
- Local reporting has named a series of late absences for both teams, with Boeheim’s Army reportedly missing Wes Johnson, JaCorey Williams and Chris McCullough and Hall In missing Myles Cale and Al-Amir.
- Those reported absences matter because Johnson, Williams and McCullough bring size and pro experience that affect rebounding, interior defense and lineups if they remain out.
- If Syracuse wins Game 2 it will advance to face the Kentucky–Louisville alumni winner in a single-elimination alumni semifinal; otherwise the series goes to a decisive Game 3.
