Syracuse Basketball: Orange’s versatility on display versus EW

Well, folks, that proved a pretty ugly affair to kick off the 2018-19 term.

Even so, I’m beyond ecstatic that the SU hoops outfit secured an easy home victory over Eastern Washington on Tuesday evening. The Eagles proved no match for the Orange, as our beloved boys cruised to a 66-34 conquest.

Heck, EW only had 10 points after the first half concluded. The Eagles are a relatively strong shooting team from downtown, but the ‘Cuse defense had a stellar performance. Our vaunted 2-3 zone forced Eastern Washington into so many long attempts from 3-point land, with the bevy of them clanging off the rim.
