Syracuse has had its fair share of problems along the back of its zone this season. Particularly, the Orange have struggled to defend at the rim.
"We've struggled all year in there." Jim Boeheim said following Syracuse's loss to Virginia this season. "We're giving centers All-American years. We cannot play defense inside. I think that's pretty painfully obvious right now. Guys that average five points a game average 18, 19, 20 against us."
How nice would it be to have a solid rim protector in the middle of the zone? Even before the Virginia loss -- during Boeheim's hiatus -- he expressed his appreciation for Baye Moussa Keita.
