After rewatching both Syracuse games, you come to a conclusion…
Syracuse isn’t a great team, but they’re a decent team that is huge, and when they play NC State, they use this to their advantage.
Syracuse guards have bullied the Wolfpack
Joseph Girard II, the only player that The Orange plays that is under 6’5 (he’s 6’1), has averaged 22 minutes per game vs. NC State. That’s almost 7 minutes below his average. That tells you something. Jim Boeheim has zeroed in on an advantage he has when they play the Pack…SIZE.
In both games, they have gotten good performances out of freshman Kadary Richmond, and you have to assume you’re going to see a lot of him on Wednesday.
