The 2020-2021 Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season is hanging precariously in the balance in mid-January. While the Orange will look to stop a two-game slide when they return home to host the Miami Hurricanes there is growing concern about this roster’s ability to defend. That concern is led by the man in charge, Jim Boeheim who said this on Saturday.
“Our defense was probably the worst I’ve seen it since I’ve been here,” Boeheim said. “Sixty-four points? Yeah, that’s a lot of points.”
It is indeed a lot of points but the Syracuse defense hasn’t been good for the last year and a half so this shouldn’t be that surprising.
