The Syracuse basketball recent rout of Boston College is not the “reality” of the Orange team, head coach says.
Syracuse basketball made a boatload of 3-pointers last Saturday afternoon in a rout of Boston College on the road, which naturally got Orange fans like me excited.
However, that success turned to utter ugliness on Wednesday afternoon inside the Carrier Dome, as the ‘Cuse went an awful 2-of-18 from beyond the arc against a scrappy Northeastern crew that put forth a tremendous effort.
The Huskies, out of the Colonial Athletic Association, had struggled on defense in their only two prior contests in the young 2020-21 term, but Northeastern competed with physicality versus the Orange, despite their best player, sophomore point guard Tyson Walker, not suiting up for the bulk of the second half.
