Syracuse men’s basketball: Orange fall to Raiders 80-68 in defensive disaster

Never allow me to say “‘Cuse isn’t getting embarrassed” in a prediction again.

The Syracuse Orange struggled to defend against the three in the first half, and the Colgate Raiders held on to beat SU 80-68 in a disappointing second act of the young campaign. The final score is pretty deceiving - Colgate led by as much as 18, with the gap only closing a bit in garbage time.

Judah Mintz scored a layup on the opening possession and Joe Girard hit one of his four 3-pointers on the night shortly after. The threes would continue to rain down - the problem is they mostly came from the guys in red.
