Kicking off Friday’s slate of games in the 2016 NCAA tournament is an intriguing matchup in the Midwest Region between No. 7 seed Dayton Flyers and No. 10 Syracuse Orange, a rematch of a Round of 32 game in the 2014 NCAA tournament.
It’s impossible to discuss the Orange without mentioning Jim Boeheim‘s patented 2-3 zone, which tends to give teams trouble this time of year, especially teams who don’t see Syracuse on a yearly basis. The good news for the Flyers is that their top three scorers, Charles Cooke, Dyshawn Pierre and Scoochie Smith, all shoot better than than 35 percent from the perimeter.
