The first offensive possession for the Syracuse basketball squad was exactly what you want to see. Solid ball movement, a missed bucket (that’s been a trend), but a nice rebound by Tyus Battle creating a second chance opportunity and Frank Howard hits the wide open three at the top of the key.
Speaking of threes, the Boston College Eagles in the first matchup against the Orange were prolific in the second half with their deep ball. They maximized some of that magic in the opening stanza creating a 15-9 lead thanks to some canny three point shooting.
