Syracuse lost 11 players to the transfer portable in exchange for eight new ones during the off season. How they manage to be competitive is beyond comprehension. Maybe it doesn’t take much to get fired up when a 7-7 is playing against the third-ranked University of Louisville women’s basketball team.
UofL won by a score of 84-74 before a crowd of 7,307 at the KFC Yum! Center. But the game was tied 62-62 with just over six minutes to go and the outcome was very much in doubt. That was Kiann Smith connected on her fourth 3-pointer of the game, closely followed by Hailey Van Lith’s second 3-pointer and another jumper.
