SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse's 2/3 zone has claimed another victim.
Northeastern entered its Tuesday night matchup against the Orange shooting 41 percent from behind the 3-point arc and 48 percent overall. The Huskies left the Carrier Dome hitting just 21 percent from distance and 34 percent overall.
Oshae Brissett had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Elijah Hughes added 17 points to pace Syracuse to a 72-49 win over Northeastern.
"I don't think you can simulate that," Northeastern coach Bill Coen said of preparing for Syracuse's size and quickness. "They're very, very quick in the zone and they cover up what appears to be an open shot with their quickness and length.
