Earlier this week, Donna Ditota of Syracuse.com did a deep dive into the Syracuse Orange 2018-19 men’s basketball season. The article looked at some of the good, bad and ugly from a team perspective, especially the second-half woes for the Orange.
We’re taking this a little further and breaking down some individual numbers from the losses. These are the shooting numbers in the 2nd half of those games from the players expected to contribute to the Syracuse offense.
