Things got a little hair at the end as Syracuse closed the gap, but the Panthers continued their mini-resurgence with an 80-75 win against Syracuse on Saturday. And while it's only the team's second victory in a row, it marks the fourth consecutive strong effort we've seen when you count the road losses to North Carolina and Duke where they hung with both teams.
Jamel Artis' ankle, which was a concern coming in, seems fine. I thought he was moving around a little timidly on defense at the start of the game but he looked back to his former self a little later.
