Syracuse Orange head coach Gerry McNamara employed a two-point guard lineup during the team's game against the New Haven Chargers on November 2, 2026, at the JMA Wireless Dome. The strategy, which features guard Garwey Dual among others, presents both promise and predicament for the Orange as they navigate the early season.
The game marked the first regular-season test of the dual-guard system, with McNamara seen greeting Dual on the sidelines during the second half. Syracuse's coaching staff will evaluate the effectiveness of the approach as the season progresses.
