Overheard after SU basketball's close win over Le Moyne: 'They made the game a little bit bigger than it needed to be'Brent Axe tells you some of the best things he heard after Syracuse basketball's season-opening win over Le Moyne on Monday night.
Donnie Freeman - Stands out in college debutFreeman finished Monday's 86-82 win over Le Moyne with 10 points (3-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes.
ImpactFreeman was thrown into a starting role in his first taste of college action and didn't disappoint en route to posting a double-double. His shooting could use some work, though, as he went just 3-for-12 from the field, but he should eventually adjust as he gets more used to the pace of the college ranks.

Jyare Davis - Shines off bench MondayDavis provided 22 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 86-82 win over Le Moyne.
ImpactDavis didn't start in the season opener, but that didn't stop him from leading Syracuse in both scoring and rebounding -- despite playing fewer minutes than four of the five starters. Don't be surprised if this impressive season-opening performance results in a bigger role for Davis going forward.
