Since my head-coaching skills are widely known as remarkable and without any peers, I have a strategy to implement for the Syracuse basketball team. Start each contest without playing the first 20 minutes, and concede a halftime lead to every SU opponent. Sound good?
Kidding aside, in recent bouts against highly rated Duke, North Carolina, and Virginia, as well as on the road at Clemson, the ‘Cuse went into the break with an advantage and then fell apart after intermission. Well, on Wednesday evening in the ACC Tournament’s second round, Syracuse (20-12) found itself down by six points to Pittsburgh (14-19) going into the locker room.
