Fool’s gold or not, the Syracuse Orange may have figured something out against the Miami Hurricanes.
The Orange moved Tyler Lydon to center Wednesday evening, playing a smaller lineup that saw John Gillon and Tyus Battle at the guard spots and Andrew White III and Taurean Thompson filling in at the other forward positions. This was an uncommon scenario for Lydon as he usually plays the three or four position in coach Jim Boeheim’s system.
The switch worked like magic as Lydon had one of his best performances of the season, finishing with 20 points and seven rebounds.
