Syracuse held its four Canadian opponents to an average of 47.5 points and 25.8 percent field-goal shooting. The two best teams, Carleton and Ottawa, tried to attack the zone from 3-point range. The Ravens and Gee-Gees combined to go 19-for-84 (22.6 percent) from beyond the arc.
"Defensively, we were very good,'' Boeheim said. "We were active. The teams we've played move the ball and we've gotten a lot of good practice with our defense. We've seen a lot of things and really adjusted pretty well to them. We forced people to take tough shots.'' (from Mike Waters 5 things that Syracuse learned... article.)
When was the last time we saw a quote from JB applauding the defense prior to the end of the OOC season? Many of the reviews here were that the defense didn't look that great, JB seems to think otherwise.
Seems like a very good sign/indicator to me.
