Syracuse Orange basketball's lackluster effort in their exhibition win over Pace University raises serious questions about the program's culture and accountability. Despite a comfortable 75-57 victory, the team appeared disengaged for 30 minutes, prompting an unprecedented reaction from host Jackson Holzer.

The discussion centers on Sadiq White as the lone player showing genuine commitment, while examining the stark contrast between Syracuse basketball and football programs. After the worst season since 1969, the basketball coaching staff returned intact with zero changes, while Fran Brown's football program holds coaches accountable even after winning seasons. Holzer breaks down the high stakes facing this team, the lack of effort against a Division 2 opponent, and why making the NCAA tournament may be the only path forward for both players and coaches.

Watch this brutally honest assessment of Syracuse Orange basketball's effort problem and what it means for their season ahead.
