John and Dan were away for a couple weeks, so there’s a lot of ground to cover on this episode — especially for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team, which lost just an hour before recording on Wednesday, and now could really use a resume-boosting victory.
In this installment, we get into what went wrong vs. Georgia Tech, the challenge vs. Virginia, some football recruiting and beer. The larger topics:
- How many “big” wins does Syracuse still need to be a true at-large contender?
- The impact of having (basically) just two guards available
- What to expect for Orange football recruiting next week
- The Italian beer scene is better than you’d expect going in
- Tempo, efficiency and why Syracuse’s offense can’t find either this year
Plan accordingly: This week’s podcast runs just under an hour.
