The Syracuse Orange find themselves in a situation they were not anticipating. Standing at 5-3, the Orange face the Boston University Terriers in a must-win matchup. For Syracuse, a win over a 4-5 team won’t show much, but after another devastating loss this week, any win would suffice.
Panic is starting to set in, but in reality it is way too early for immense concern for this team. They have only played eight games in the young season, and everyone knows coach Jim Boeheim wants SU to peak in March. For Boeheim to get his wish, the Orange must start performing up to their capabilities, and a win against the inferior Terriers is a good place to begin.
