James Southerland
Syracuse’s James Southerland still a mystery
Is Southerland the player who poured in 19 points and grabbed five rebounds in wins over Albany and Eastern Michigan? Or is the real James Southerland the player who was anchored to the bench at Madison Square Garden, playing a combined 13 minutes against Stanford and Virginia Tech, while going scoreless?
Southerland leads overwhelming Syracuse press
The sequence actually came within a longer one of just over a minute, where the Orange turned the Red Raiders over six times in a row. It began at the 8:51 mark when James Southerland picked off a kickout pass to the corner from Colgate’s Mike Venezia, who found himself swarmed with nowhere to go underneath the basket. Southerland finished the fast break the other way with an open jumper at the top of the key.
