Orange treat Colgate like video game
Did you ever play Nintendo with the Game Genie? You’d put in Super Mario Bros. and make Mario invincible and be able to jump five times higher than normal. At first it was one of the most amazing things ever but slowly you started to miss the challenges of the normal game. Without the element of real competition it began to lose its appeal. That’s now how I feel watching Syracuse demolish its opponents.

Two-pointers hold the key to Southerland, Syracuse success
Many commentators have rightly praised Southerland’s play in SU’s first three games, but they have also expressed doubt that he can sustain his torrid pace. They correctly point out that he has gotten red hot before (look no further than the 19 points he scored in his first exhibition game as a freshman), only to cool off the following game.

Cuse displays deadly depth vs. Albany
The Orange were simply too tall for Albany to deal with last night. Syracuse dominated the paint, outrebounding the Great Danes 47-29 and converting on bucket after bucket around the rim. After the game, Coach Boeheim expressed his displeasure with the team’s performance saying, “From the beginning, we weren’t really read to go … Tonight, we didn’t get any better.”

Southerland makes major contribution
The last time James Southerland played more than 20 minutes was more than a month ago, when Syracuse lost to Pittsburgh 74-66 on Jan. 17. You have to go back even further to find the time Southerland last scored more than eight points. That was on Jan. 1 when the Orange topped Notre Dame 70-58. Southerland saw both of those streaks end Saturday in the Orange’s 58-51 win over Georgetown. Southerland played 21 key minutes for Syracuse and scored nine points.
