The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team’s NCAA Tournament chances took a hit when it suffered a 14-point road loss (it wasn’t even that close of game) to Duke on Monday. Following the game, Jim Boeheim said one of his starters admitted to not playing defense in the first half.
Boeheim has also asked more of his forwards, suggesting that they need Quincy Guerrier and Alan Griffin to play better for them to win going forward.
Guerrier shot 3-for-11 from the floor against Duke and scored just seven points — his second lowest point total of the season.
