The writing proved on the wall for Syracuse basketball.
A three-affair setback streak in which the Orange got crushed by foes from major conferences. An anemic offense and a struggling 2-3 zone. A frustrated fan base with many already calling the 2019-20 campaign a wash. Head coach Jim Boeheim’s worst beginning to a stanza in his 44 years at the ‘Cuse helm.
Oh, and an encounter on Saturday afternoon in Atlanta against a Georgia Tech crew that prides itself on defense. Recipe for a Syracuse disaster? I thought so. Boy oh boy, did we get it wrong.
