During the week, Gary Gait was brutally honest in his assessment of his team’s next game.
He said he thought Duke was more talented, but that his team’s camaraderie and chemistry could be their advantage in the matchup.
I’m not sure he was right about the more talented part, but one thing is for sure: his Syracuse Orange team played easily their best game of the season in their 14-10 win over the No. 11 Duke Blue Devils on Saturday, helping Gait pick up the biggest win of his young men’s coaching career.
