Melo finished with six points, two rebounds, and more importantly, five blocks. He was also a main reason why forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who came into the game averaging 8.3 points and 11.0 rebounds a game, finished with just two points and seven rebounds.

November 24, 2011 Robbie Gillies

I wanted to see Syracuse play against better competition. I wanted to see how they would respond. Through the first four games, the Orange had an average margin of victory of 32.5 points. You don’t learn much about a team from wins like that against opponents like Colgate and Fordham. Virginia Tech was going to be a real test. And through the first half Syracuse did not respond well. But luckily they played the 2nd half and the Orange responded to pull out the 69-58 victory.

In the coming weeks, a full and thorough investigation will be done, and weeks—perhaps months—from now, the truth will come out. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what transpires.

Two-pointers hold the key to Southerland, Syracuse success

November 17, 2011 Jeff Irvine

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.
