The SU hoops outfit has ended the non-conference portion of its 2018-19 campaign on a juicy note, crushing St. Bonaventure by a final mark of 81-47.
Lofty expectations led the bevy of ‘Cuse fans to prognosticate that the Orange would roll through the out-of-conference schedule with perhaps only a blemish or two (myself included).
Unfortunately, that did not occur, and Syracuse finds itself at 9-4 entering Atlantic Coast Conference competition in about a week. Losses to Connecticut, Oregon and nationally ranked Buffalo didn’t surprise me all that much. A second-half collapse versus Old Dominion at home, however, definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
