Syracuse, N.Y. -- The Syracuse basketball team isn't passing the ball enough.
The Orange is struggling mightily on offense and one of the biggest flaws is that Syracuse isn't getting enough assists.
Syracuse only gets an assist on 50 percent of its made baskets. That's 235th out of 351 Division I teams and 12th in the ACC, according to kenpom.com.
Frank Howard is doing his part, averaging 5.8 assists per game and his assist rate (percent of assists on made FGs when he's on the court) of 35.1 percent is 34th in the country.
