This is the team that ‘Cuse Nation hoped for prior to the 2018-19 campaign commencing. SU absolutely locked in its 2-3 zone on Wednesday night in Central New York, limiting No. 18 Louisville to 26-percent shooting from the field in a 69-49 drubbing.
Not only did the Orange (18-8, 9-4) excel on defense, but it also exhibited a competent performance on offense, something that did not occur in a decisive setback at N.C. State a week ago. Syracuse moved the ball around well, made 11 buckets from beyond the arc, and saw four guys generate double-figures in scoring.
