Did Hunt solidify his starting position? Allen just hasn’t been able to move the ball and it’s hard to ignore his six turnovers in the previous two games.
My guess is that Drew Allen gets the start again next week. There’s a reason Scott Shafer chose him as the starter in week one and two and I don’t think he’ll lose hope quite yet.
Is Drew Allen the guy? Will he lead the Orange under center this season? He didn’t give us the performance many fans hoped for. He had some good moments but he also had some awful ones, including two second-half interceptions.
There were a couple of controversial calls that went against Syracuse. The first came with 1:40 left and Trey Burke appeared to push off Michael Carter-Williams with his right elbow, but Carter-Williams was whistled for a block.
This is one of the most impressive coaching jobs that Boeheim has had in his 37-year career. If you had asked Jim Boeheim that same question (and gotten a non-sarcastic response), he would’ve probably agreed with you.
The Louisville pressure has frustrated opposing offenses all season. It does something very unique by hand checking and bumping with the body consistently down the court.
The Syracuse offense played a game like it hadn’t played in weeks and it wasn’t just because of one player. All season, the team has been bailed out by the performance of one player but today, it was a team effort.
