Syracuse brings a 7-9 record into the game. ACC play has proved difficult for the Orange as they are just 1-4 in conference play. Most recently, Syracuse took down Miami 66-61. Prior to that, they had lost three straight to SMU, Florida State, and Georgia Tech.
The Orange have outscored opponents 1,176 (73.5 ppg) - 1,143 (71.4 ppg). They have been exceptional on the boards, outrebounding opponents by 3.5 rebounds per game. Georgia Woolley (15.3 ppg) and Kyra Wood (11.2 ppg) have been the top scorers this season and are the only two averaging double figures. Wood has also been the top rebounder with nearly seven boards per game.

Yeah, we ALL remember the intentional foul call that prompted a NCAA rule interpretation change that didn't help us. We would have finished in 4th place in the ACC with the two round bye instead of 5th with the one round bye 😡
ReplyDeleteWon.t seem the same without "the Q" prowling the sidelines for Cuse. Saw he landed a job as an assistant at Ole Miss.
