I was most impressed by Frank Howard.  Last year in a game like this he would have disappeared.  15 points on 6-14 (43%, best on team), 2-5 on 3s ( 40%, best on team).  7-4 assist to TO ratio (best on team).  SU out- rebounded  Kansas   by 5, including 15-7 on the offensive boards.  Syracuse was down by 21 and cut the lead   to 9.  On the negative side -- Team shot 32%, 22% from 3.  Almost twice as many turnovers to assists (17-9).  Only 1 block.  Did not defend the 3 very well -- again.  Maybe JB should have the team practice a box-and-one in case a player like Graham starts hitting from all over the court.  Other than Howard, I was not impressed by the play of the other SU players very much.  Certainly Battle had his moments but shot 35% from the field and 18% from 3.  Brissett 3-13 and 2-8 from 3.  Both centers were underwhelming in my opinion.  But I do think the team showed a lot at times.  If only they could shoot.

I agree with Dick Vitale's assessment of the team.  They will beat some teams they should not beat and be beaten by some teams they should beat easily.
