Georgia Tech 96, Syracuse 76: the Orange drop fourth-straight, defense continues its downward spiral

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (16-14, 9-10), it did. In fact, astronomically worse.

Not only did Syracuse lose its fourth-straight game, but it did so at home Tuesday night to Georgia Tech (13-17, 5-14), the third-worst team in the ACC by conference record who had been 1-9 in away games prior to its matchup versus the Orange. It got so bad, coach Boeheim switched to man defense (yes, man-to-man) as the Yellow Jackets torched the Orange’s defense from start to finish.
