The Syracuse basketball squad had an impossible challenge in the last two contests vs top-10 teams in Duke and North Carolina. Despite the long odds, the Orange had every opportunity to win this game. Here’s how it all unfolded.
One of the major problems with the Orange has been their inability to start games fast. In this one, they canned a quick three-pointer at the top of the key from Frank Howard. That was followed up by a nice defensive takeaway that was converted in the transition by Tyus Battle. Before you could blink it was a 5-0 lead for Syracuse.
