4. Syracuse
The Orange sit at 11-4 but now 0-3 against the Top 5, unable to stop quality offenses, and unable to play their best on the road. Face-off wing groundballs have been in short supply. Poor pick defense has been a theme. Notre Dame got good looks in middle of the field and were plus-9 in groundballs. HHH did not execute in the second half, outscored 9-3.
Orange have the senior class to make run. Joey Spallina, Michael Leo, Billy Dwan III, Luke Rhoa and company turn their attention to North Carolina in the ACC Semis.
