The Buffalo connection returned for Syracuse (captain George Kirchgasser, Art Powell, George Redlein, and Max Riehl). John Stark returned to the team along with Eddie Dollard. These six players comprised a very strong Orangemen team.

The team would unexpectedly lose its first game to Schenectady. They would win their next seven games, most of them easily, and some with very high scores (for that era), such as 61-10 over Hamilton, and 58-11 over Rochester. They would beat Colgate, on the road, giving Colgate a very rate home court loss.

One win would be a forfeit from Williams, considered one of the best teams in the country. The game was tied 17-17, when the Williams' players walked off the court with six minutes remaining, complaining about the competence of the officiating by Referee Roseboro (at Syracuse). Syracuse's second loss of the season would come to Williams on February 21st, 28-20.

Syracuse would lose its last game of the season to talented Penn 26-20. The Orangemen finished their successful season at 9-3.
