The ‘Cuse hoops outfit took a punch in the gut last weekend, losing to then-No. 10 Virginia Tech in its most-lopsided defeat of the 2018-19 campaign. The Orange followed up that debacle with a gritty performance at Boston College on Wednesday evening, an outcome that really impressed me and should please our entire fan base.
In besting the Eagles by six points at the Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass., Syracuse rode stellar performances from junior wing Tyus Battle and freshman guard Buddy Boeheim to improve to 4-1 in true road duels during the present term.
