Villanova

You don’t have to be a Hall of Fame coach to see that Syracuse basketball’s defense has been a problem this season.

Jesse Edwards finished 8-for-15 at the free throw line, while no other Syracuse player attempted a foul shot.

No. 6 Villanova proved to be too much for Syracuse in the nightcap of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

After Syracuse pulled to within 55-51 with 6:17 left, Villanova took control on a 6-0 run to win at Madison Square Garden.
