Playing their second game in two days, a not-particularly-deep Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team lost its legs in the second half of a 70-63 defeat to the Minnesota Golden Gophers at the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Syracuse only shot 30 percent in the second half and endured a seven-minute field goal drought that spanned most of the fourth quarter. They only made two of their final 14 shots from the field.
The Orange (2-3) shot 23-for-72 from the field and 7-for-22 from the three-point range. They made 10-out-of-11 foul shots and played a relatively clean game, turning it over eight times.
