Rapid Reaction: SU Calls Mercy On Vicious Beating By UConn

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.
