Orange Watch: Syracuse basketball will never lose to Indiana again
Of course we know nothing compares to losing a NCAA Championship game, but there’s something we find uniquely poetic about the fact that since the Orange lost late to Bob Knight and his ’87 Indiana team in New Orleans, Jim Boeheim has not only gone 5-0 against the storied Hoosiers in the subsequent meetings, but three of the five were one-sided Orange domination.
Syracuse Orange top Baylor Bears to win Maui Invitational
For the second straight night, #8 Syracuse used a second half run to create a large enough cushion to hold on for a victory, this time knocking off #18 Baylor to win the EA Sports Maui Invitational championship game by a 74-67 score. The Orange (7-0) posted ten straight points to stretch a four-point lead to fourteen with just over five minutes on the clock and never let the gap shrink to less than six until the game’s waning seconds.
