Omaha, Neb. -- It has been 26 days since the defensive debacle in Chestnut Hill. On that evening, in the cozy confines of the Conte Forum, Boston College torched Syracuse for 85 points. To add insult to that offensive injury, the Eagles made 52 percent of their 3-point shots in that game.
Much has happened for the Orange in those ensuing 26 days. Much has changed for the Orange defense since that deflating night.
In its six games since then, opposing teams have managed a mere 59 points against SU and its zone. Those teams are making 26 percent of their 3-point attempts.
