Syracuse basketball, for the most part, has proven a team that lives and dies by the long ball during the 2019-20 campaign. It’s clear that the Orange has talent from deep, and that has propelled the ‘Cuse offense to a decent showing in a multitude of affairs throughout the current term.
But should Syracuse truly hope to make any kind of realistic run at an at-large invite to the 2020 NCAA Tournament, the Orange will have to keep working on its defense.
Happily, the ‘Cuse put forth another admirable effort in its trademark 2-3 zone on Wednesday night inside the Carrier Dome, as Syracuse suffocated a struggling Boston College crew on the way to a 76-50 triumph.
