Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 238688, member: 214"] probably because Marquette is still running,but SU's transition game is sputtering. Through the first 20 games, SU had scored 472 points off turnovers (23.6 per game) and 345 fast break points (17.3 per game). Since then, the Orange have scored just 226 points off turnovers (15.1 ppg) and only 128 fast break points (8.5 per game, half the earlier output). Marquette doesn't have the hype that Syracuse did, and, by and large, teams are still playing into their style. As a function of their lengthy stay in the top 2, though, Syracuse has been analyzed and dissected, and everyone knows to slow the game down, take care of the ball, and hustle back on defense. Until it meets a Kentucky or North Carolina that thinks it can outrun us, Syracuse will live or die on its ability to efficiently score in the half court. [/QUOTE]
