Make it 80 in two straight games from the Syracuse Orange offense. They barely approached that point total in the 11 games that preceded their blowout victories over Arkansas State and St. Bonaventure that capped their non-conference record at 9-4.
The Bonnies by no means resembled the group that walked out of the Carrier Dome with a victory one year ago, and I don’t see the Red Wolves sniffing a March berth either, but Jim Boeheim inserted a new starting lineup that returned efficient and active performances individual of the poor competition. Elijah Hughes is scoring in volume, Oshae Brissett is rolling downhill and Tyus Battle appears ready to join the NBA ranks.
