As we now know, the Syracuse Orange earned its largest win of the season over No. 6 ranked Florida State on Saturday. But really, we all should have seen this coming. If we read the tea leaves (or fortune cookie) on Friday night we would have predicted Syracuse’s 82-72 win.

It certainly wasn’t wrong and pleasantly surprised we were. Syracuse proved it could make plays down the stretch in a close game, viz., John Gillon took over with his playmaking ability and knocked down timely free throws.
