The team turned Jim Boeheim's zone defense into one of the most feared defenses in the country, with long armed quick players on the team. The offense revolved around defensive turnovers, and strong guard play.

C.J.Fair, 2011-2014. Fair was a versatile small forward who could do a little bit of everything. He was the leading scorer on the team his junior and senior years, and led the Orange to the Final Four in 2013.

Wesley Johnson, 2009-10. A season with statistics downplayed by his unselfish play, Johnson led the team in scoring and rebounding, while displaying a great inside/outside game.

2011-12. The team set a school record for wins with 34, going 34-3, won the Big East Regular Season title by three games, reached #1 in the polls and was a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. They would lose in the Elite Eight. A close second was the 2009-2010 squad that went 30-5, also reaching #1 in the polls and earning a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. A mention needs to be made to the 2012-2013 team which became the fifth Syracuse team to reach the Final Four, with a 30-10 record.

Andy Rautins. Rautins had great range, and often faced special defensive coverage. Andrew White gets some serious consideration for being prolific and shooting at a high percentage.
