Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is in uncharted territoryJANUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fourth double-double of season Swider provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and 14 rebounds across 40 minutes during Saturday's 77-74 overtime loss to Wake Forest.
Impact Swider didn't have his best shooting performance, but the entire Syracuse offense had a tough time in this contest. He still salvaged his fantasy output by delivering his fourth double-double of the campaign -- and first since Dec. 4. He's averaging 12.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest this season.

Drains three threes again Swider accumulated 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 80-68 victory over Cornell.
Impact Swider has drained three triples in three straight games and has registered multiple threes in four of his last five games, making 41.2 percent of those in that span. The senior is a decent scoring threat for Syracuse, averaging a career-best 13.0 points per game in his first year with the program.

Impact Swider is not a go-to player on offense such as the Boeheim brothers, but he has been productive and is certainly making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Through eight appearances, the senior has six games with at least 10 points and three double-doubles.

Goes for 17 points Friday Swider closed with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and four rebounds over 32 minutes during Friday's 89-68 loss to Auburn.
Impact Swider recorded a double-double Thursday and followed it up with a strong performance Friday, so he's settling as a nice complementary piece on offense for a Syracuse team that's currently led by the Boeheim brothers. Swider is averaging 12.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Puts up 11 points in win Swider ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and five steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 75-60 win over Drexel.
Impact Swider recorded a double-double in the season opener, and while he couldn't repeat that feat in this one, he at least managed to score in double digits for the second contest in a row. While he'll likely serve as a complementary scoring option behind the Boeheim brothers, Buddy and Jimmy, he could have some breakout performances from time to time. He undoubtedly started the season on a strong note.

Will miss scrimmage Swider won't play in Friday's intra-squad scrimmage due to an ankle injury, Stephen Bailey of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Coach Jim Boeheim mentioned that he expects Swider to be back in practice Tuesday, so this doesn't sound like a long-term problem for him. Assuming that's the case, Swider could be ready to roll when Syracuse's exhibition season fires up next Wednesday versus Pace.
