In his more than four decades at the helm on the Hill, head coach Jim Boeheim has never endured a five-game losing streak.
That unfortunate “feat” could have occurred this past Tuesday evening inside the Carrier Dome, but the Orange (13-6, 2-4) managed to pull away from Pittsburgh (8-11, 0-6) to snap its four-contest skid.
Phew.
The ‘Cuse certainly didn’t throttle the Panthers. Rather, our crew did just enough to emerge victorious. Pitt, like SU, is extremely young. For all the recent complaining that I’ve heard from Syracuse fans about our struggles, in this duel with the Panthers, it became lucid that the Orange possessed more talent than its opponent.
