The game probably didn’t go the way a lot of SU fans were hoping it would. After roaring out to a 23-point halftime lead, Syracuse gave most of it back in the second half with sloppy offensive play and laziness on defense. In the end, Syracuse was able to pull out the 83-70 victory.
Although the game had it’s low points for Syracuse, such as a 9-0 run early in the second half for Charlotte, the overall outcome is the important part. Syracuse won. They move on to the semifinals.
They also showed some very good things as a team, such as an improved effort on the glass and the ability to get hot in a hurry from behind the arc.
