Miami is coming off a big 78-72 win in its last outing over then-No. 16 Louisville. Syracuse lost 96-76 at Pittsburgh in its most recent game. SAVVY SENIORS: Miami's Isaiah Wong, Nysier Brooks and Elijah Olaniyi have collectively accounted for 46 percent of the team's scoring this season, including 66 percent of all Hurricanes points over the last five games. FACILITATING THE OFFENSE: Wong has either made or assisted on 45 percent of all Miami field goals over the last three games. Wong has accounted for 23 field goals and 11 assists in those games. PERFECT WHEN: The Orange are 5-0 when recording at least 12 offensive rebounds and 2-4 when they fall shy of that mark. The Hurricanes are 5-0 when they hold opponents to 64 points or fewer and 1-6 when opponents exceed 64 points. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/syracuse-looks-for-defense-with-hurricanes-up-next/"]Syracuse looks for defense with Hurricanes up next[/URL] (cbssports.com; FLM)[/B] [I]The [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/teams/CUSE/syracuse-orange/']Syracuse Orange[/URL], who play host to the Miami Hurricanes in an ACC game on Tuesday night, aren't in a good mood. They can't be -- not after allowing a season-high in points on Saturday in a 96-76 loss at Pittsburgh. Syracuse (7-4, 1-3 ACC) allowed 64 second-half points. "Defensively, that was probably the worst we've played since I've been here," said Jim Boeheim, who was named Syracuse's head coach in 1976. "Sixty-four points? Yea, that's a lot of points. "We don't have any answers. We're playing the best group we can play. ... In the second half, we played no defense." Meanwhile, injury-plagued Miami (6-6, 2-5) is in great spirits after knocking off Louisville -- ranked 16th at the time -- 78-72 on Saturday night. Despite having just seven scholarship players available, Miami got a great effort from guard Isaiah Wong, who scored a career-high 30 points, including 21 in the second half. ...

It became especially famed once the Big East became the best college basketball competition in the country. SU was known for its star power on the offensive end thanks to players like Leo Rautins, Rafael Addison, [URL='https://orangefizz.net/2020/08/su-top-100-11-dwayne-pearl-washington/']Pearl Washington[/URL], John Wallace and so on, and on defense, it’s always been the same thing, teamwork. Some guys have absolutely flourished in the zone, others have struggled. Though at the end of the day, the 2-3 epitomizes teamwork. It’s what made Syracuse so good back then and so good contemporarily. However with SU’s most recent struggles, notably the last half of basketball the Orange played in which they gave up [URL='https://orangefizz.net/2021/01/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-in-syracuses-loss-to-pittsburgh/']64 points to Pitt[/URL], it begs a question of where that prestige has gone. Have the Orange shifted to become an offensive-minded team? If so, why? The last time Syracuse got close to college basketball glory was 2016. The team had it all, reliable scorers in Malachi Richardson and Trevor Cooney, a long, talented big man in Tyler Lydon and of course a leader, Michael Gbinije. That team didn’t exactly have the same offensive firepower of the ‘03 championship team or the ‘87 runner up. What it had was a solid unit on defense. Boeheim’s 2016 squad ranked 30th out of 351 defenses that season in points against. This season, as of writing this, Syracuse is 208th in that same statistic. Last year, 174th. Of course, last season we didn’t get to see whether SU had what it took to reach big dance due to COVID, but just 18 wins after the first game of the ACC tournament didn’t look promising. ...[/I] [B] [URL="https://247sports.com/college/syracuse/LongFormArticle/Syracuse-basketball-Miami-Joe-Girard-Kadary-Richmond-Jim-Boeheim-159503710/"]Joe Girard or Kadary Richmond?

However, based on what’s transpired for the Orange over the past few games, it’s safe to say that the ‘Cuse is a team that presently faces an abundance of challenges. My passion for Syracuse basketball, no matter its record, will always remain at a high level, yet if I’m assessing things honestly right now, [URL='https://insidetheloudhouse.com/syracuse-basketball/']the Orange (7-4) is a pretty mediocre team[/URL]. The ‘Cuse, assuming it doesn’t have future game postponements amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, will have a bunch of opportunities to notch marquee victories in Atlantic Coast Conference competition. Syracuse basketball, though, better turn things around – and fast – if it wants to salvage the 2020-21 term. That starts with a home date this Tuesday evening against Miami, which by the way has dealt with a lot of injuries to its roster, but the Hurricanes still managed to upset nationally ranked Louisville over the weekend. The ACC is so topsy-turvy this season! And this tells me that the Orange, if it can regain some of its mojo, has the potential to still put forth a respectable 2020-21 stanza. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.espnsyracuse.com/2021/01/18/on-the-block-on-demand-1-18-3/"]On The Block On Demand 1-18[/URL] (espnsyracuse; radio; Axe)[/B] [I]Brent starts the show reminding distressed Orange fans that the men’s basketball team can only do so much with the players that they have.
