Hoopfeed: UConn handles Syracuse 87-62 as Dolson, Mosqueda-Lewis and Stewart combine for 70 points

[DishNSwish]

After dropping 21 straight games and 28 of the last 29 to Geno Auriemma’s Connecticut teams, Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman had high hopes for today’s game in Hartford.

After all, the Orange came in with a 15-1 record, the same as UConn, the best in the Syracuse program history. However the Orange record came against a schedule not loaded with top opponents, so the question lingered pregame whether the record was misleading. Starting three freshmen guards, would they be able to handle the experienced Husky guards on both ends of the Court?

The answer would be they are for real, but not ready for UConn, as the Huskies pulled away late defeating the Orange 87-62 before a crowd of 14,786.
