Triche returns to form after slump

Over the past few games, Triche has been shooting the ball well and getting those kinds of shooter’s rolls. That couldn’t be said during the first half of Syracuse’s nonconference schedule, when those kinds of shots weren’t falling.

Overrated no longer

In late November, Jim Boeheim called this team “the most overrated team I’ve ever coached.” At the time, I completely agreed with him. I had watched the games. I had seen the team’s shooting troubles, defensive lapses and very close games against subpar competition (a 63-60 win over William & Mary??). Now, though? Now, you have to really nitpick to find flaws. The Orange is improving by leaps and bounds, and after a 93-65 beating of a good Drexel team, I’m finally ready to no longer call this team overrated.
