Syracuse basketball put up nearly 90 points on Saturday night on the Hill against a top-10 Duke bunch that is among the premier units in the country as it pertains to defensive efficiency.
So, kudos to the Orange offense for scoring in droves – despite not connecting on a high percentage from the field. Unfortunately, the spotty ‘Cuse 2-3 zone allowed almost 100 points to the No. 9 Blue Devils, and that spelled doom for Syracuse.
Look, I get that all of us in Orange Nation wanted to collect a signature success inside the Carrier Dome, with more than 31,000 fanatics rocking the joint.
