McNAMARA'S FIRST SEASON
Head coach Gerry McNamara begins his first season leading his alma mater after two years at Siena, where he guided the Saints to the 2026 NCAA Tournament. A key contributor of Syracuse's 2003 national championship team, McNamara opens the exhibition slate at Mohegan Sun.

Sophomore guard Kiyan Anthony and sophomore forward Sadiq White Jr. return for the Orange. Anthony averaged 8.0 points and 1.4 rebounds per game as a freshman, while White added 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
ORANGE ADDITIONS
Junior guard Gavin Doty followed McNamara from Siena after averaging 18.0 points and 6.9 rebounds per game and earning 2025-26 MAAC First Team honors. He started all 35 games for the Saints. Junior guard Aiden Tobiason arrives from Temple, where he started all 32 games and averaged 15.3 points per game, scoring 20 or more in seven contests. Guard Garwey Dual joins from McNeese State, where he made the All-Southland Conference Defensive Team and recorded 56 steals.
In the frontcourt, Luke Wilson, the reigning Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year at Appalachian State, joins the Orange. Wilson averaged 10.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game with 59 blocks last season. Another Siena transfer, Francis Folefac, started 26 games for the Saints last season, averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
