Columbus, Ohio -- Leave it to Marek Dolezaj, the Syracuse forward by way of Slovakia, to succinctly sum up what transpired here in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.
English is not his first language. But nobody described Syracuse's sudden shooting fireworks quite like the Orange's 6-10 sophomore forward.
"We have really good shooters," Dolezaj said. "I don't know why we struggle. But we knew it would come in one game. We'll explode and get a really good game. And this was the game."
This was the game Syracuse players and Syracuse fans had hoped for when the season started and the Orange was ranked in the Top 25.
