The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball fell to its eighth defeat in nine games, losing in blowout fashion to the No. 4 Louisville Cardinals 100-61 on Sunday afternoon at the Carrier Dome in a game Syracuse never led.
The 36-point loss is Syracuse’s biggest defeat since last season’s NCAA Tournament loss to UConn.
The Orange put a scare into the Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center a few weeks ago, but Louisville executed extremely well on offense and never let Syracuse feel like it was in the game. Louisville put its foot on the gas pedal and outscoring the Orange 50-25 in the second half.
