Syracuse basketball will attempt to get back on the right track when the Orange hosts Oakland this Wednesday night from the Carrier Dome.
The ‘Cuse (5-5) performed dreadfully on defense against Georgetown this past Saturday afternoon, as Syracuse got crushed on the glass, gave up an abundance of wide-open 3-pointers, and saw the Hoyas head to the charity stripe for what seemed like an endless amount of occasions in a 10-point loss.
Sure, the referees absolutely missed some calls, and that may have stung the Orange a tad. However, unless the ‘Cuse executes with much more consistency on both offense and in its 2-3 zone, all the poor officiating in the world won’t prevent Syracuse from continuing to pile on defeats.
