Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 5110822, member: 7970"] Checking in from the Syracuse/Niagara game, from court side … after one half, Syracuse is up 47-32. The game feels closer than it should be. Niagara is doing a defensive press and Syracuse is rushing to move the ball up court. Lots of long ‘Cuse passes that either get intercepted or wind up with the ball out of bounds/player out of position to score. If Niagara was able to capitalize on all of Syracuse’s TOs, this would be an even closer game. Niagara is being very physical and the refs are mostly letting them play. Syracuse does not seem to be handling it well. Let’s see if the whistles come alive in the second half. Biggest takeaway though is mostly that Syracuse is playing rushed and disorganized. I imagine they will come away with the W but there’s very clearly some early season jitters/rust. [/QUOTE]
