The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team continued its skid, falling 84-71 to No. 3 Louisville on Thursday night for its fourth straight loss.
All 13-point games aren’t created equal, however, and in this one, the final score does not tell the full story.
Even in the loss, the Orange showed a whole lot of heart against the best team they will face all season. Syracuse hung close early, but Louisville expanded its lead to 40-29 with 1:37 left in the first half.
Given the Orange’s thin roster and track record of letting things get away quickly, it seemed like Vonn Read’s team was in trouble.
