![]() Syracuse ranks 12th in the ACC in per-trip defense (1.08 points per possession allowed) and 221st (!!) in Division I. Things were better at UNC Monday night, but only because the Orange - a good offensive team! - ramped up the scoring. Duke did whatever it wanted on that end of the floor Saturday, to the tune of 97 points in 61 possessions, and the Orange offered zero noticeable resistance for 40 minutes of college hoops. Really, though, it’s very strange to watch a Syracuse team be this bad defensively - that 2-3 zone, that occasionally transcendent scheme that has terrorized tournament opponents and worked for Jim Boeheim since before you were born, is suddenly just totally toothless. Watched Syracuse play twice in three days. (Samuel Lewis / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) ACC Justyn Mutts and Virginia Tech are still hanging around the bubble. Special thanks to Warren Nolan and, new this year,, whose NET schedule view and tracking of canceled/postponed games is invaluable. NET and SOS numbers are current as of Monday night.
