For this year’s team, Jim Boeheim has plenty to draw upon following the loss to such a quality team as the Jayhawks, and even in defeat it provided a template for what to look for this evening.
The Orange hung around by outrebounding Kansas, 36-31, including gathering 15 offensive boards, and also doubled up the Jayhawks in free throw attempts, 26-13, making 18 foul shots.
Following Monday night’s tight victory over Maryland to move to 6-0, it is pretty fair to think that this year’s Syracuse basketball team is a pleasant surprise.
