With so much turnover and returning just one starter from last season’s squad, the Orange got a quick glimpse on what it could be this season on Friday night. The Orange (1-0) got major contributions from newcomers and dominated on the offensive glass to defeat Morgan State (0-1), 95-68, in the season-opener. You can check out our best shots from the game below.
