The Syracuse basketball team became another statistic with their 30 point loss in tonight’s massacre. It wasn’t necessarily that the Orange played poorly (shot 43% from the field), but the Huskies just made every inch of the court tough to play on.
The Huskies finished up with a 62% clip from the field, but were shooting a ridiculous 70% for most of the contest. They crushed SU in assists (30-8) and free throws (16-4).
The positives to think about:
- Several players capped off amazing careers including: Alexis Peterson, Brittney Sykes, Bria and Briana Day. Sykes overcame two ACL injuries to come back and do great things in Orange
- This was four straight years of SU at least making it to second round
Perhaps SU could’ve made it further if they didn’t get boned on the seeding job.
