The Syracuse Orange are back in the win column, picking up their third Quadrant 2 victory of the year after storming back to beat the SMU Mustangs 79-78 at home Saturday.

No matter who stands as head coach of VCU’s storied men’s basketball program, the title always comes with one certainty: expectations.

FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: If you like offensive explosions, the first half was not for you. If you like Big Ten defensive slugfests, well this was your cup of tea.

It was during the opening minute of the UNC-Syracuse game that the thought first crossed my mind: it seems like the Heels rarely win the opening tip. The Orange’s William Kyle III had just won the tip against Henri Veesaar, although Syracuse missed their opening jumper and UNC corralled the rebound. Still, it felt to […]
