The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team has a lot of areas to work on if they are going to return to the NCAA Tournament.
A glaring issue after the first two games is the difference in ball movement between Syracuse and their opponents. Through two games the Orange have 22 assists on 54 field goals. Their two opponents have 38 assists on 55 field goals. To add insult to injury Colgate’s center, Jeff Woodward had 7 assists in 23 minutes the other night.
Syracuse currently ranks 302nd in the country in assists per game with 11 per game.
